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
