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 take 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 un-wanted attention 

And a need for explanation 

And it's 

Not that I'm letting go of you 

But I dunno 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 

I was only 7 I had you 

but now I'm 22 



And now it's different 

When I take you out 

And you 

You've got me standing in an 

Awkward position 

With un-wanted attention 

And a need for explanation 

And it's 

Not that I'm letting go of you 

But I dunno what to do 



And sometimes, 

At night, 

I dream of the most terrible things, 

I take a hammer and I climb out of bed 

And I raise it high and I smash your head 

Fibular and tubular and ribs and cages 

To in fact 

While I'm here 

I'll smash the whole of you 



Skeleton you are my friend 

And I could never bring your life to an end 

Yeah 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 un-wanted 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
