Lyrics
We fought across the border wars, fought across our destiny
We engaged in battles during border wars and faced the challenges of our fate.
We shot across the the stratosphere, the thin air bothered me
We traveled through the stratosphere, and the thin air was discomforting.
I looked around that whole damn place for somewhere to lay my head
I searched the entire place for a place to rest my head.
Then a man in the hood come shoulder me said: "you wishin you was dead, boy?"
A hooded man confronted me, suggesting that I might wish for death.
Shake your bag o' bones, when nobody's home
Move and express yourself, especially when no one is around.
Shake your bag o' bones and you'll never be alone
Embrace your identity and uniqueness, and you won't feel lonely.
Move your head with the dancin' dead, get in the game and play
Engage with the dancing dead, participate in life, and play the game.
Shake your bones wherever you roam, be the one who got away
Carry your essence wherever you go and be the one who escapes conformity.
Long way from home wherever you may roam
Regardless of where you are, you're far from home; carry your bag of bones with you.
Take along and shake that bag o' bones
Bring along and proudly display your unique identity wherever you go.
I packed my shit and headed east where the sun was set to rise
I left for the east where the sun rises, leaving behind the best they had to offer.
They sent me west with all their best no disgrace, compromise
They sent me west without shame or compromise.
I looked around that whole damn place while the sun set on my face
While the sun set on my face, I surveyed the surroundings.
Then the man in the hood, come shoulder me, said: " you come for another taste, boy?"
The hooded man approached me again, tempting me with another experience.
Shake your bag o' bones, when nobody's home
Express yourself even when no one is watching or present.
Shake your bag o' bones and you'll never be alone
Embrace your uniqueness to find companionship even in solitude.
Move your head with the dancin' dead, get in the game and play
Engage with the challenges of life, dance with the dead, and actively participate.
Shake your bones wherever you roam, be the one who got away
Carry your essence wherever you go, and be the one who breaks free from the norm.
Long way from home wherever you may roam
You're always far from home, so carry your unique identity with you.
Take along and shake that bag o' bones
Bring along and proudly display your bag of bones, no matter where you go.
Long way from home and you'll never be alone
Despite being far from home, you'll never be lonely with your unique identity.
Take along and shake that bag o' bones
Take your bag of bones with you, and embrace your individuality wherever you go.
