Come right in and pull up a chair, open up a cold mind and let out the pressure there
Speak of a soul's soul and paint me her tide, preach of an ego and sell me on their crime
I'm given to listen, if you'll do the same, let's offer this afternoon to clean off the slate
Bring on the bullshit til the booze take our guard, we've got maybe an hour now to come from the heart.
Don't take this as maudlin, but these are damn fine friends.
Yes the petty come between, we dismiss and reconvene from time to time but then... when the shit hits the fan, trust us ladies and gentlemen, we rise together again.
Now moving on as the hearts far too slurred, we're left to look back and give old truths swollen words
We speak of the shoulder taps and keefin' our kind, we measured most memories by our we got...
The time was no matter, money gripped all we did, now dollars at ease, the time's on as our lid
We need all that gravity to keep us coming down, to in love with the rise between the lost and the found
Don't take this as maudlin, but these are damn fine friends.
Yes the petty come between, we dismiss and reconvene from time to time but then... when the shit hits the fan, trust us ladies and gentlemen, we rise together again.
'Cause it will and has but it's never to last, so we just let it pass and don't read between
The lines are just words, that ego a girl and this just the world as have seen
We each view our own, no need to run home just pass one along and find the humor in
The words are falling in line, that girl believing her lies and me here thinking that I know anything
Don't take this as maudlin, but these are damn fine friends.
Yes the petty come between, we dismiss and reconvene from time to time but then... when the shit hits the fan, trust us ladies and gentlemen, we rise together again.
