Pansy Waltz

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, he's out of season, out of sync Oh lord, what must his family think And you must be getting his feathers wet Well, she always seems to be the talk Until she drops you like a rock Well, you should've been a better friend to him Well, I dusted all the bones out of my yard I fixed the screen door, raised the barn But still you call me from the moon every single afternoon Tell me all about the astronauts you've come to love And how the earth looks from above And how I should've been a better friend to you [Chorus] But, I've never seen life as a chore A treasure for to find I've read the news, abused the booze And often wondered why My smile remains Though thinking pains the average passer-by Oh, they'll sink like stones into their homes Away from teeth like mine [Verse 2] Yeah, and so I came to hate my skin And all the holes you'd hidden And the way you let my legs waltz the weeks away By your side Well, you should've been a better friend of mine Well, I saw in you a brand new bird The song, of which, I'd never heard Oh, a melody so fine The whole world would pine And it's a tune to give the boys the blues And turn the horses into glue You know, I should've been a better friend to you Yeah, I should've been a better friend to you [Chorus] Well, I've never seen life as a chore Or a treasure for to find I've read the news, abused the booze And often wondered why Oh, my smile remains Though thinking pains the average passer-by Well, they'll sink like stones into their homes Away from teeth like mine Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
