Dave

Dave'd called me up yesterday

Everything he loved had moved away

I felt despair come crawling through the phone

I know the feeling but don't get me wrong

(Dave) I've always thought that you were touched by fate

It's never easy but why throw it 'way?

Maybe you were both chasing this

Flirt with death but never kiss her

Dave

(Dave)

(Dave)

(Dave)

Oh, I keep dreaming

I'll set the scene

So what's a fiver?

Why so mean?

The golden moment

The blinding gleam

It's all over

That's too cheap

Dave

(Dave)

(Dave)

(Dave)

And Dave I see you bleed

I know you feel the squeeze

But please, believe

The view from on your knees

Deceives, keep on going

Dave

(Dave)

(Dave)

(Dave)

I know you're empty

I know you're numb

(Keep going, keep going)

And you can't function

I know that you're drunk

(Keep going, keep going)

And, Dave, I've always felt that you were touched by fate

The thing that gets me is the stupid waste

Pick it up and don't put it down

A newer story in another town

I see you bleed

I know you feel the squeeze

Time heals, believe

Then it will seem you dreamed these things

Long ago, go

(Dave)

(Dave)

(Dave)

(Keep going, keep going) Dave

(Keep going, keep going) Dave

(Keep going, keep going) Dave

(Keep going, keep going) Dave...
