Our Friend Jim

Well Jim found a brick at a garbage sale and he bought it He wrapped it up and gave it to his new girlfriend Well she took to the brick and Jim took to the door She taught the brick to fly then Jim hit the floor singing (La la la la la) And Jim slams the door But she holds the papers higher, higher He tried so hard to expose her But she pulled out the carpets and Jim came closer singing From day to day-ay Suffocated by a conversation She keeps the basement door locked tight And only meets him for a confrontation, or a Disagreement, a disagreement, a disagreement So many disagreements, singing Well Jim got himself a brand new doctor Who gave him a little tin of mints The little tin said "effects may vary" Stagger Lee missed the minor and he shot the canary, singing (La la la la la) And Jim grips the wheel But she holds the keys now higher, higher He tried so hard to expose her And she pulled out the carpet and Jim came closer singing From day to day She's suffocated by her conversations She keeps the basement door locked tight And only meets him for a confrontation or a Disagreement, a disagreement, a disagreement, so many disagreements, they're singing Don't beat yourself up about it It's not your fault You couldn't see the thorns as you picked up the pretty rose Don't beat yourself up about it It's not your fault You wouldn't see the thorns as you picked up the pretty rose Our friend Jim
