My Unusual Friend

Lyrics

Back when I was first on my own Before I had me a love, before playing in a band At the tender underage Not old enough to drink, but the best age to get drunk You were only the world that I had Just me and my unusual friend Playing songs to the magic box Till the holes in the old rotten roof Snowed the cold light of morning Back when you substituted for girls Surrogate for food and the passer of the time In the aching dehydrated dawn With my bruised-up heart on the mend I'd hold you in my hand Yeah, I miss you, my unusual friend I knew that if you stuck around One weird warm night, you'd sneak in my room and kill And then float out, belongs on a breeze I'll miss you, my unusual friend 'Cause you were only the world that I had Yeah I'll miss you, my unusual friend
