[Lyric] 708 (Ryan Ross and the Whiskeys)

I saw your body crowded
In the arms of faceless men
I pulled you from between
Lines of powdered illusions
But then we heard music from the street
And there were people you still had to meet

One too many skeletons
And you are the loveliest one

The sun came up after our night
And I was drunk on my dreams
You pulled your body from me
But I still got lost in the sheets
You said, ‘This is not real to me
But it still unfolds beautifully.’

One too many skeletons
And you are the most poisonous one

The rules made you forbidden, but I
Gave it no thought or time
Your lover greets me with praise while I
Pretend not to know your taste
And so these simple, loaned rooms, I know
Are temporary and not our home
One too many skeletons
And you are the deadliest one

Now we walk down these sinful streets
And I can’t help but stare at our feet
Burning touches fade to shame
And you’re leaving smiles in your wake
You sleep the best on your own
And my love for you is an onrunning joke

One too many skeletons
And you make me the loneliest one

Whoever thought I’d let you in?
Not I, not I, not I
Neither did you -

Driving across the summer states
Your smile and the fear of my desire
Diving into endless crowds
Your shine and the loss of my own

I’ve got one too many skeletons
But you still come after dark

Now I see you on the bed
Silhouetted by the New York skyline
We’re still in hiding
The only place you’ll ever let us know
And in my wildest dreams
I walk down the street with you
I thought we had them fooled
But the fool was I
(Bring out the coffin)
I thought we had them fooled
But the fool was I
(Let the mourners)

One too many skeletons
And you are the loveliest one
One too many skeletons
Walk, walk down the street
