  • 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
    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

    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
    Fibula and tibula and ribs and cages, too
    In fact, while I'm here, I'll 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, you are my friend
    And I'll 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 Writer/s: Kate Marie Nash
