i ain't got a friend

from sailor by kissed her little sister

lyrics

i ain't got a friend in this world anymore
i ain't got a clue ‘bout what to do
no job, time, plan
no money heaven sent
no faith in the matter at all
but i got this old letter from you

and i read it again and i read it out loud
i read it in my bathtub honey baby now now don't you
see i’m down? do you see me gettin clowned
by the painted faces smiling all the time?

rain on my parade i thought thanksgiving was today
thought wrong thought 'bout a train i didn't catch
thought ‘bout the bus and what a fuss you make and how you make it last
and the thoughts i thought i thought they might've passed

and yes i think about you when i unfurl that paper thin
i crumple in a bag or in a book i stumble with these hands for hooks
thinking thoughts are just dead weight in this emotive sort of state
yah it's big but it's much smaller if i just look

yah things don't pass like they always did
when we were just friends and well i was just a kid (same)
and like i said im no man but i’m closer than i’ve been
but something in me thinks that that’s a sin

but then some happy news arrives, i put my happiness in stride
my happiest hour in a while
you can dance that dance but you can't sing no song
i don't care as long as you can make me smile

then that catholic guilt comes creepin up on me
i can feel it in my throat i can smell it in the breeze
in the springtime i find that i am reminded
of the evil in the world

aw shoot god damn wish i were feeling like a man
feel like a baby on these steps been disavowed
it's just an adolescent game and i will always feel the same
im not old but i’m a little older now

oh jesus christ will you please visit me again
in the morning on the rooftop of my shed
from the trees the leaves fell and i saw your face
and i made my roof into a bed

i went to the doctor and he said...
son you have got some years to live but soon we'll be dead
and i said sir, you think they're working on a cure?
he said no man that shit’s going down for sure
