My Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Verse:
I heard your record on the telephone, it was my cousin Joan
She picked it up from the Top 40 Rack and then
I read interview in Rolling Stone, You threw the boysa bone
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call
I know you never meant to hurt us man, we're just ababy band
You found a quicker way to scale the Wall of Fame
Pre-Chorus:
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up, and go with him...
No way!
Chorus:
We know exactly where you are and you're gone,
My friend
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
You've gone away
My friend
We know exactly where you are and you're gone,
My friend
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
Have you gone astray?
Verse:
I saw your video on VH1, looks like you spent a ton
How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell
And I remember when you used to say, "Jesus Is The Way,"
I never thought I'd see your light begin to fade
(Pre-Chorus)
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up, and go with him...
No way!
(Chorus)
We know exactly where you are and you're gone,
My friend
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
You've gone away
My friend
We know exactly where you are and you're gone,
My friend
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
Have you gone astray?
Bridge: (No guitar)
Don't think we don't miss you (We think about you every day)
We still love you anyway (Cause Love don't go away)
There's still this burning question (I got to know)
