I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen I made him on the table in the den
I gave him my old cell phone for a head, for a head And we spent holidays at my house
And we left presents in a stocking And we bought bolts and things and strings
And a new watch, that's what he got
* And we had so much fun together We knew we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together We had so much fun
Then I left for college in September And we wept 'cause we can't be together
So I kept pictures to remember my old friend, my old friend Then I met this girl at graduation
And forget my oldest creation And I guess I'll see him next vacation
Send my best, I send my best
( * )
I came home to find him on the table With a note, scribbled out in pencil
And he wrote, that he just wasn't stable all alone, all alone
Next to him, an empty glass of water That he spilled, all over the body
That I built, it fizzled and it popped And then it killed, and then it killed
( * )
