Skeleton Key

Ihaven't met a locked door yet

that Icouldn't beat

on a chain around my neck

I keep my skeleton key

Chorus:

don't waste your worry on me

I always find what I need

come and go as I please

I've got my skeleton key

don't waste your worry on me

I always find what I need

come and go as I please

I've got my skeleton key

by nowit's just a simple trick

not much to see

you hear the tumblers catch and click

then turn the key

butI've found work and welcome everywhereI've been

causeeveryone's got someplace they wanna be let in

Chorus

Along the way

the old men call me by mymother's name

she looked the same they say

the children wave

or hide behind theirmothers' skirts, afraid

strangers here still seem strange

they hear the accent

knowI'm from nowhere near

but I speak the language

and I know the customs here

I come from over the horizon

pass through every dozen years

go home, tell of my arrival

the skeletonkey's here

Chorus

I've got my, my skeleton, my skeleton key

I've got my, got my, got my skeleton, my skeleton key

Yeah

Chorus

don't you go waste all your worry on me

causeI'll make my way with my skeleton key
