________________________________________

I'm not above drinking alone
but no good ever comes of it,
unless you count me talking to you now
So, have you been hurt?
Did you hurt someone?
Did you get all crashed down upon?
Me, I'm a friend to the friendless
not that I chose it and if I had
well then who knows?
But that one guy on the train
all talking to himself
shit, he was talking to me
He Said
"At school they taught me a prayer for money,
a prayer for crap jobs right till I die
never a prayer for my people, the brokenhearted
the lonely"

Did you let the blues make you bad
Did you get all twisted?
Did you get so drunk you whispered
"I think I'm gonna die?"
Did you pass out nights wondering why you never saw it coming?
Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all
I'm a friend to the friendless and I don't care
If I had a choice in this it wouldn't be fair
but I don't so let's not get all carried away
with shit you wouldn't change anyway
let's make this a prayer for money
a prayer for Sundays through Mondays
and crap jobs right til I die.
Because where we all are we won't always be
and shit man that couldn't be me
getting hurt, hurting someone
getting all crashed down upon
burning holes in butterfly's wings
while wishing whising wishing wishing for other things
Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all
Nobody ever sees it coming, are you ready for this?
Never wear white socks with black shoes
Don't get all twisted
Don't let the blues make you bad
I know you miss him
Don't let your standards fall down with your hair
How it felt when you kissed her
Straighten your tie, tuck in your shirt
I'm a friend to the friendless
And I don't know why but come on kids, please,
we'll walk right on by
See I know you are lonely, you'll not always be
You are so many things you will not always be.

Sounds kind of like Voltaire, with the kind of morbid lyrics/tune you could say...

But this is something much different and really good.

[evoslip]

@attackthem5 I recommend also hearing Heart Attack 64, All the Worlds a Stage Dive, and Me v. the Angry Mob. very fantastic songs.

[JonasPiet]

I love this song. It gets even better if you listen more than once

[evoslip]

yea, awesome band too

[Jenniaaaa]

I love this.

[ICEdonOtto]

This song is full of ingenuity, very crafty and unique tone

@primussoa Lady Gaga is a classically trained singer and to the best of my knowledge writes all of her own music. She's just better marketed and more widely appealing. Bad example. Though I do see your point.

[vampiresnvrhrtu]

this is one of my favorite bands.... plus the dresden dolls!

[AdeleCorrenti]

Omg....this is sooo good !!!!



[palutena2]

Sounds Like a Piret song :)

[Sakreos]

ohhhhh f**k !! loved this to death...

[rigorten]

Easily my favorite song of theirs. With their discography that's saying something.

[TheManFromRoomFive]

such a beautiful song. i love when they harmonize. it sounds amazing. also reminded me of a nightmare before christmas.

[nicolicious617]

@Kastiall That's because the lead singer is a friendly skeleton in a suit named Jack.

[primussoa]

@PortgasDAce007 sometimes no matter how talented a band or person is just isn't enough. Sad right? Things like "Lady Gaga" people who have others write the songs they sing for them and quite possibly have no musical knowledge are so much more famous than things like this, Pure musical talent.
