Phil Christie: Music

Skeleton (From the motion picture “Jacks or Better”)
(Written by Phil Christie)

I like your skeleton baby, I like your style
I like your collarbone and your suicide smile
The way you hang there seems to light up the room
Just like some Joan of Arc before she was doomed

Chorus:
You’re my religion
You’re an angel in white
You’re my redemption in the heat of the night

Here’s my confession baby, please understand
I’m not the altar boy you might think that I am
Sometimes the Devil puts these thoughts in my head
Just like the one that got you into my bed

(chorus)

I guess you’re wondering how you found yourself here
A twist of fate or something worse off my dear
There’s just no telling how this storybook ends
I’ll be the hero, I will make you amends

(chorus)

I like your skeleton baby
I like that far away look in your eyes
I like your skeleton, I like your skeleton
