What A 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.
I was running
From imaginary vampire bats
I was shrieking at the moon
While Montezuma laughed
Oh, Aztlan blues
And reds and greens and golds
I hope that I die
When I'm 100 years old
Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you
I was making love
To my sister from another life
I was stitching seams of my opening dreams
With a needle from a camel's eye
If I could give myself some advice
I'd go out of my mind right now
I'd stay here with my baby
Forever in the here and now
Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you
I was returning my salute
To the lieutenant paper bag
And my best friend, Farmer Dave
Lit me up so I could take a drag
My sister's former flame
Threw his shirt into the fire
An aging child prodigy
A genius who inspired
Looking a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping in a golden cocoon
With you
With you
With you
