Friend To The Frindless

I'm not above drinking alone

but no good ever comes of it,

unless you count me talking to you now

So, have you been hurt?

Did you hurt someone?

Did you get all crashed down upon?

Me, I'm a friend to the friendless

not that I chose it and if I had

well then who knows?

But that one guy on the train

all talking to himself

ah, he's talking to me

He's saying

"At school they taught me a prayer for money,

a prayer for crap jobs right till I die

never a prayer for people, the brokenhearted

the lonely"

Did you let the blues make you bad

Did you get all twisted?

Did you get so drunk you whispered

"I think I'm gonna die?"

Did you pass nights wondering why you never saw it coming?

Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all

I'm a friend to the friendless and I don't care

If I had a choice in this it wouldn't be fair

but I don't so let's not get all carried away

with shit you wouldn't change anyway

let's make this a prayer for money

a prayer for Sundays through Mondays

and crap jobs right til I die.

Because where we are we won't always be

and shit man that could be me

getting hurt, hurting someone

getting all crashed down upon

burning holes in butterfly's wings

while wishing just wishing for other things

Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all

Nobody ever sees it coming, are you ready for this?

Never wear white socks with black shoes

Don't get all twisted

Don't let the blues make you bad

I know you miss him

Don't let your standards fall down with your hair

How it felt when you kissed her

Straighten your tie, tuck in your shirt

I'm a friend to the friendless

And I don't know why but come on kids, please,

we'll walk right on by

I know you are lonely, you'll not always be

You are so many things you will not always be.
