“With the shoulder bone connected to the,” she paused, “Hip bone…”
Dem bones, dem bones, dem – dry bones! 😀
…so I just looked at the Wikipedia page for the song (to make sure I was remembering the English lyrics right) and found out that it’s originally about a biblical scene (Ezekiel 37:1-14), and the full original lyrics carry a necromantic vibe even when you don’t separate it from the context that it’d be the Christian god doing the resurrections in question. That’s… darker than expected and super fitting for Bonesaw.
Also, in the second half of the song, the bones are disconnected, which bodes about as much ill for the Undertravelers as connecting them strangely.
Speaking of which I only just realized what Bonesaw was connecting. 😛
Who is she working on?
Bonesaw sang to herself as she drew a scalpel from her sleeve, investigated it, then laid it on the counter.
Ah, alright, just preparing.
“And the hip bone connected to the… back bone.”
That one’s actually in the song, except backwards.
Still, though, just with the shoulder-hip connection, this is already someone who’d probably not be very happy with their life.
