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 you protect the bone

Yes, Skeleton, we have been friends for years
And you have seen me through some trials
and tribulations and some tears
But everybody thinks Im weird

And I should have known
That it wouldnt be long until you
Youve got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
And its not that Im letting go of you
But I dont 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 easier
Even though the other kids, they would tease me
I was only seven I had you, but now Im 22

And now its different
When I take you out and you
Youve got me standing in an awkward postition
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
And its not that Im letting go of you
But I dont know what to do

And 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
Fibular and tibular and ribs and cages , too
In fact, while Im here,
Ill smash the whole of you

But...Skeleton, you are my friend
And I could never bring your life to an end
Yes, Skeleton, you are my friend
And I will be there for you until the end

And even though when I take you out youve got me
Youve got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
I could never let you go
And that is all I know...
