My Skeleton Friend Jack

I had an imaginary friend when I was really young. He was Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas. I felt safe when I thought about Jack being right there by my side. He was my tall, skinny, non-eyeballed friend.  I always made my cute mom put him in his seat belt whenever we went in the car, he always had a place setting at the dinner table, which of course was just an empty plate but nonetheless he would still get hungry, and he would always go down the dark basement stairs first so as to make sure nothing was going to jump out and scare me. There is a song by Kate Nash called the Skeleton Song.The song is about her imaginary friend who is a skeleton and she can't seem to get rid of him because she loves him too much. It is one of my favorite songs of all time. 

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

Fibular and tubular

And ribs and cages, too

In fact, while I'm here

I'll smash the whole of you

Smaaaaaaaaaaash !

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
