Funeral For a Friend

Stand By Me For the Millionth Time

Funeral For a Friend


I've seen youth falter
At the last fucking hurdle
Resentment of a homewrecker
Resentment from a homewrecker
And I don't need your sympathy
I know what you did to me
I know what you did
I know what you did to me

For a change I
Would like more
More tattoos
For a change I could like myself
Cover up my flaws
Wrap me in plastic
Send me
Off downstream

The midtown rush
And I'm stuck in line
Waiting for a sign
Passing off metaphors as conversation
Down some shitty fucking phone line

And I can't think of a better place to be
When I can't think of a better place to be
When I can't think of a better place to be

I wish I could be a better me

For a change I
Would like more
More tattoos
For a change I could like myself
Cover up my flaws
Wrap me in plastic
Send me
Off downstream

I've sat and watched stand by me for the millionth time
It's a lifeline
I wish I was chris chambers
But in truth
I'm more like vern
I've sat and watched stand by me for the millionth time
It's a lifeline
I wish I was chris chambers
But in truth
I'm more like vern
And I'm okay with that

For a change I
Would like more
More tattoos
For a change I could like myself
Cover up my flaws
Wrap me in plastic
Send me
Off downstream
