Come down to the harvest with the dancing dead
The skeletons from our closets will crack and break
When their hands hold each other
Past the party lights I'll show you what the party lights hide
The mesmerizing pattern the stars cut into the sky

Upon the water frozen over there are people I used to know
Carving figure eights but all I see is our names engraved
My lover, my artist please paint me upon your soul
You can rest your weary in the bags under my eyes
You can stay here past the party lights
You can stay here all night...

And when the sun rises, just know
When you decide to open your eyes
There'll be no more skeletons, my dear
Just you and I alive
