Lip read, a mountain stream
Fibres in the car
Shut down, a cheerless a town
A head rolls in the park
Once seen my libertine
Undresses in the dark
She puts her love inside
To break us both apart
With you I felt brand new
You opened up the sky
What need to punish me
With surgery and lies?
Sleep well my so called friend
A virus in your heart
She bends my so called friend
And rips my life apart
In sound escape is found
From carving out the day
My gift a weight that lifts
My eyes give me away
You tell me all the things you know
I want to hear
You stain the sub terrain
With sarin gas and fear
Sleep well my so called friend
A virus in your heart
She bends my so called friend
And rips my life apart
What kind of friend are you?
What kind of friend are you?
You're so cold
What kind of friend are you?
What kind of friend are you?
So Called Friend
I miss the holy bliss
Of sun across the bed
How sad that all my plans
Seem foolish now instead
With you I felt brand new
You opened up the sky
What need to punish me
With surgery and lies?
Sleep well my so called friend
A virus in your heart
She bends my so called friend
And rips my life apart
What kind of friend are you?
What kind of friend are you?
You're so cold
What kind of friend are you?
What kind of friend are you?
So Called Friend
Sleep well my so called friend
A virus in your heart
She bends my so called friend
And rips my life apart
