you say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
lying on the pavement with a misery on his brain
stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
he only had a dollar to live on till next monday
but he spent it all on comfort for his mind
did you say you think he’s blind
someone should call his parents a sister or a brother
and they’ll come to take him back home on a bus
but he’ll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
yeah he’ll always be another one of us
he said he wanted heaven but prayin’ was too slow
so he bought a oneway ticket on an airline made of snow
did you say you saw your good friend flyin’ low
flyin’ low dyin’ slow
