Skeleton

Deep down in our hearts, don't we all want a goth gf?
No?
Alright...

lyrics

I wanna be intimidated just a little.
I wanna feel incinerated in the middle of my chest.
And whenever you catch me staring, just a little,
at your diamond pendant necklace with the skull right in the middle,
I go breathless.

And I don't mind the way it seems like
you don't care if I exist
and the only reason you like my body
is there's a skeleton inside of it,
yeah.

I never got my confirmation; I'm a sinner.
When it comes to wearing eyeshadow I'm still a beginner but I'll try,
I'll try.
I wanna be assimilated. Please consider,
we can eat bat heads if you come over for dinner.
Is that alright?

I'm everything you've ever wanted.
You're everything I've ever wanted to need.
And if you've got a plan to get me gothic,
I'll be the dirty little garden to plant that seed.
Yeah if you've got a plan to get me gothic
I'm the dirty little garden to plant that seed.

I read all of your poetry; it's clever and discerning,
but the one about the Manson's is a little disconcerting.
But that's fine, that's fine.
I painted all my fingers black so you can see I'm learning.
I'm not that hardcore, but I started taking German.
Count to eins, zwei, drei.

And I don't mind the way it kinda seems like
if I dropped dead you wouldn't lose sleep
and the only reason this ever happened
is there's a skeleton inside of me,

yeah, I don't mind the way it seems like
you don't care if I exist
and the only reason you like my body
is there's a skeleton inside of it.

Yeah the only reason you like my body
is there's a skeleton inside of it, yeah.
