Imaginary Friend
Secret Agent 23 Skidoo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you see me, now you don't
Strange land ho
Oh my imaginary friend says I'm the imaginary friend which means I'm imaginary then, if he's right and I'm really not sure that he's wrong, so I might be made up of the words of this song
(Repeat)
I gotta friend named Pickles
His favorite food is mustard popsicles
He's got green hair and orange skin
He's the sort of friend
Nobody can see
Nobody but me
You're like whadya mean?
He's imaginary, invisible
But he's never scary
Nah, he's really cool
He's silly too, he's an acrobat
He does backflips while we play Hacky Sack
Nobody fast as us, running races
But he cracks me up, making funny faces
It gets on my nerves when he's sitting in a chair and people sit on him like Pickles isn't there
Come on, he's real! Just like me, only one thing on we disagree
My imaginary friend says I'm the imaginary friend, which means I'm imaginary then, if he's right and I'm really not sure that he's wrong, so I might be made up of the words to this song
(Repeat)
I say he's the imaginary part of our friendship
Then he laughs very hard
And says, who me?
Nah, couldn't be
And I really don't know who I should believe
Cause when ya think about it
The kid's gotta point
It's a fifty-fifty chance like I'm flippin a coin
He's says that the world that he sees is quite different
When he has dinner, I go inside with him
And sit on the chair with his green haired family
but no one can see that I'm there, so I can't be real
But real's the way I feel
But hey, so does he, so we made a deal
That either, neither of us is the co-star in this imaginary movie that we both are
Is it really so hard to believe that there're different worlds and som are harder to see?
My imaginary friend says I'm the imaginary friend which means I'm imaginary then, if he's right and I'm really not sure that he's wrong, so I might be made up of the words to this song
(Repeat)
And now things change like I'm flipping a lever
It's switched and now I'm rich with imaginary treasure
Whatever he can see, I can see too
In his world, the sea is green like pea soup
And the sky is purple, the clouds can talk
But not as loud as rocks
We go out for walks
I'm speechless
Cause it's all so nuts
Watching trees kiss and waterfalls flow up
He's like so what?
But he gets amazed at Earth cause it works in different ways
He stares when airplanes streak through the sky
Cause he thinks they're birds with people inside
He got scared of a guy that he saw hang-gliding
And he still won't believe that my dog can't drive
We both tell jokes and love to solve riddles
But I still can't stand those mustard popsicles
My imaginary friend says that I'm the imaginary friend which means I'm imaginary then, if he's right and I'm really not sure that he's wrong, so I might be made up of the words of this song
