Paroles

He's my friend, but he's no friend to me
Just ask him why, he'll tell you casually
Washed up, bitter, broken, busted
Back-stabbed everyone he trusted
Says he sees what no one else could see
And if I had half his guts, I'd want him
To chase that fatalistic comet
And die young in the dark, that's poetry
But it was not to be, no, it was not for me
He's always sad, but I never seen him cry
When he comes to, sure he'll apologize
Find his car, asses the damage
Still drunk, but he likes a challenge
Holds onto his mind just like a kite
But a good strong wind will keep you honest
Fill you with some common knowledge
Things when we were young we never tried
Just figured we had time with such a long life
Money clips, alligator shoes
One more dance, he's in that champagne room
Where she moves like the chocolate fountain
Pouring, spilling all around him
Makes him wonder what else she can do
How bittersweet is love's illusion
Feelings that cannot be proven
Trust me, you'll see my aim is true
I've done this all for you, I've suffered long for you
So many times he tried to play it straight
Worked and worked until his body ached
But a brand new life can loose its luster
Troubles tend to find each other
Call it luck or you can call it faith
But either way, it's how it happened
Not the life that you imagined
So just go out with a bang like Hemmingway
Some will say you're brave, some will say you ain't
