Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
And I should have known that it wouldn't be long
Until you, you've got me standing in and 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
[Verse 4]
Skeleton we are so close
But you have got no body
So why do you insist on wearing clothes?
[Verse 5]
Skeleton when we were young, it was easy
Even though the other kids they would tease me
I was only seven, I had you but now I'm twenty two
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
And sometimes at night
I dream of the most terrible things
I take, take a hammer and I creep out of bed
And I raise it high and I smash your head
Fibular and tubular and ribs and cages too
In fact, while I'm here, I'll smash the whole of you
[Verse 8]
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'll be there for you until the end
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
