Story behind the song
A good friend and I were talking one night. It was late, and for some reason, he decided to confide in me some things about himself that I didn’t know. He seemed to be waiting for me to freak or do the “How could you!” thing. I did neither. I just affirmed my love for him and lack of being in any position to judge. This had not been the standard reaction from others in his life. This song sprung to life – an expression of the fears of being real before people and the desire in each of us to be loved truly “without condition”.
Lyrics
DANCE WITH MY SKELETONS Words and Music by Erik Tyler © 1998, BMI From the 2004 CD release "One" All Rights Reserved I hear you say that Your love is unconditional That’s easy to say when The parlor is looking pristine But what if you lift up The carpets to find some surprises Or discover that not every Corner is quite what it seems And if my closet opens Will you back away If the walls have secrets Underneath this paint And if the ghosts come haunting Will you be afraid I guess what I’m trying to say Is would you CHORUS Dance With my skeletons Dressed In the best Of my dirty laundry Dance With my skeletons If I went to The cellar In me Would you still want to Dance So sweet and sincere, you Insist that you’re here for the long haul And I half-believe The conviction I see in your eyes But there’s so much more To this excess baggage than dinner wear And there’s so much less To impress you than you realize If I unlock the door That I have sealed up tight If the passage takes you To the darker side Where I keep the bones I’ve never left behind I wonder, would you change your mind Or would you CHORUS Pretty as a picture Just like a VanGogh But if it tears Are you gonna wanna tango Dance Gonna wanna tango Dance Gonna wanna tango CHORUS
