Every person goes to steak house eight P.M.
You got your rickety bones I got my rickety hands
You got your rickety bones I got my rickety hands
You got your rickety bones I got my rickety hands
(I'll turn it into seduction) I'll turn it into some facts

Can you turn off all the lights so I can't see?
You got your rickety bones I got my rickety hands

You got your rickety bones I got my rickety hands
You got your rickety bones I got them rickety hands
You got your rickety bones I got my rickety hands
So fucking old,

The lyrics to "Mastas of Ravenkroft" by My Chemical Romance are enigmatic and difficult to interpret. The song is filled with nonsensical and cryptic phrases, and it seems to be an exploration of the darker and more perverse aspects of human behavior. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "You got your rickety bones, and I got my rickety hands," which is likely a reference to the fragility of the human body and the destructive capabilities of the human mind.
The song seems to be about the desperate, destructive behaviors that arise from isolation and loneliness. The lyrics describe a narrator who is drowning innocent wolves and dressing up like a cat, suggesting that the singer is engaging in self-destructive behaviors to cope with his or her feelings of loneliness. The lines "Medication and the way your eyes look into me" and "Lubrication / Can you turn off all the lights so I can't see?" suggest that the singer is seeking solace in drugs and sex, but still feels deeply alone.
Overall, "Mastas of Ravenkroft" is a dark and unsettling song that explores the fragile and perverse aspects of human nature.
