skeleton song

skeleton

you are my friend

but you are made of bone

and you have got no flesh and blood

running through you to help protect the bone

skeleton

we have been friends for years

and you have seen me through some trials

and tribulations and some tears

but everybody thinks i'm weird

and i should have known that it wouldn't be long

until you--you've got me standing in an awkward position

with unwanted attention and a need for explanation

and it's not that i'm letting go of you

but i don't know what to do

skeleton

we are so close

but you have got no body

so why do you insist on wearing clothes?

skeleton

when we were young

it was easy

even though the other kids

they would tease me

but i was only seven i had you

but now i'm twenty-two

and now it's different

when i take you out

and you--you've got me standing in an awkward position

with unwanted attention and a need for explanation

and it's not that i'm letting go of you

but i don't know what to do

'cause sometimes at night

i dream of the most terrible things

i take a hammer and i creep out of bed

and i raise it high

and i smash your head

fibula and tibula

and ribs and cages

too

in fact

while i'm here

i'll smash the whole of you

smash!

but

skeleton

you are my friend

and i could never bring your life to an end

yes

skeleton

you are--you are my friend

and i will be there for you until the end

and even though

when i take you out

you've got me--you've got me standing in an awkward position

with unwanted attention and a need for explanation

i could--i could never let you go

and that is all i know

and that is all i know

and that is all i--that is all i know

and that is all i know

know
