Friends Back East

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Welcome to your new home Here's your bed, you'll sleep alone Getting everything you wanted Getting everything you wanted and some Here's the kitchen, cook alone Look at the water boil At the table, sit and stare Soup with bread with so much to care for [Chorus] All my friends back east keep asking "What have you done with your life?" Just a little too strung out to lie [Verse 2] Suddenly, it seems so clear Rejecting what you can't have Light a candle, smoke and pray All good sins will find you, one day Now another month is gone Soon, it will be a year Go to bed and say out loud "Is it over where it's all gone wrong?" [Chorus] All my friends back east keep asking "What have you done with your life?" Just a little too strung out to lie [Outro] My ambition keeps getting in the way When I found my voice, there's nothing left to say Inhibition keeps me behind this door My life's a running joke What am I? What am I running for?
