Songwriters: Gordon Moakes, Kele Okereke, Matt Tong, Russell Lissack All my thoughts are all lies All my thoughts are all lies All my bones are so tired All my bones are so tired So young and so handsome So easily led They told me to wait I said It makes a man out of me It makes a man out of me It makes a man out of me It makes a man out of me You take the fun out of me You take the fun out of me You take the fun out of me You take the fun... And I've been consistent to the ****ing dream And I've paid my dues just to get them all back A simple man with simple desire What should I have said? What should I have done? The horses are here The damage is done So just take off your shirt And just take off your dress We can go dancing On a Saturday It makes a man out of me It makes a man out of me It makes a man out of me It makes a man out of me You take the fun out of me You take the fun out of me You take the fun out of me You take the fun... And I've been consistent to the ****ing dream And I've paid my dues Just to get them all back A simple man with simple desire I'm just a skeleton [5x] And I've been consistent to the ****ing dream (I'm just a skeleton) And I've paid my dues just to get them all back (I'm just a skeleton) A simple man with simple desire (I'm just a skeleton) I'm just a skeleton [4x]
