Absent Minded Friends

Well, it's a silly thing

But I've been wondering

Shall we drink a toast to

Absent minded friends?

Too all who turn a corner and

To those who went round the bend

Everybody raise your glasses

Drink and drown

Melancholy for the masses

Love come down

Well, it's a silly thing

But I've been wondering

Maybe you will never

Bridge the gulf

Baby, you're just too sensitive

Are you numb enough?

Can we ever fill this

Impending void?

Have we become what we intended

To avoid?

Have you ever smiled for too long?

Till you're aching?

Have you ever laughed till you cried

Till your heart is breaking?

Have you ever smiled for too long?

Till you're aching?

Have you ever laughed until your heart is breaking?

(Well, it's a silly thing, but I was wondering)

Love is always riddled with selfishness

Few will find joy in their big success

From the sublime to the ridiculous in the blink of an eye

Funny, all too funny, you're a funny guy

If it's too much to feel, come this way, my friend

Try to keep it unreal, feels good to let yourself descend

So pretend we can transcend our everyday existences

No distances

How did we come undone?

Became what we've become?

Have you ever smiled for too long?

Till you're aching?

Have you ever laughed till you cried?

Till your heart is breaking?

Have you ever smiled for too long?

Till you're aching?

Have you ever laughed until your heart is breaking?

(How did we come undone?)

Have you ever smiled for too long?

Till you're aching? (Become what we've become?)

Have you ever laughed till you cried?

Till your heart is breaking? (How did we come undone?)

Have you ever smiled for too long?

(Became what we've become)

Have you ever laughed until your heart is breaking?

(How did we come undone?)

(Become what we've become)

(How did we come undone?)

(Became what we've become)
