Well he's out of season, out of sync Oh lord, what must his family think? And you must be getting his feathers wet Plus he 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 in 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 But I've never seen life as a chore A treasure for a find I've read the news, abused the booze And often wondered why My smile remains the thinking pains The average passerby Oh they'll sink like stones into their homes Away from teeth like mine Yes, so I came to hate my skin And all the holes you'd hidden in The way you let my legs walk slow weeks away I wish I - 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 That whole world would whine 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 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 the thinking pains The average passerby 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
