MY FRIEND
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 your interview in Rolling Stone
You threw the boys a bone
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call
I know You never meant to hurt us, man
We're just a baby band
You found a quicker way
To scale the wall of fame
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him
No way
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
I saw your video on VH-1
Looks like they 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
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him
No way
Don't think we don't miss you
We think about you every day
We still love you anyway
Love don't go away
There's still this burning question
Got to know why
Wish You well
My friend
