Embroglio

At The Drive-In

I had a friend who died


For something he really loved


I had a friend who stood


For none of the above


I had a friend whose experience


Was riddled with scars


Who got drunk one night


In the trunk of louie p.'s car


I had a friend who'd love to scare you


As was his affections


And tremble you did


'cause you weren't worthy of his friendship


I had a friend, but now


He's stranded on the Mesa st. exit


And sometimes I'm jealous


'Cause I'm still at the intersection


I had a friend whose heart was too heavy to hold


Yes there's blood on the median


Like a boat without oars





Duct tape the cross on the brown colored box


Single file line on the unpaved road


They tipped their hats, respect for the dead


In Juarez, Mexico, where they buried my friend





There are no words to express


The loss I feel since you've been away


You made this typical sad song


A physical classroom


Where I learned nothing


Just flashes of your face x2


and my solution is





It's all a facade x3


And nothing really matters now


x4


He's stranded somewhere on the Mesa St. exit


And sometimes I'm jealous waiting at the intersection





His heart was too heavy to hold


Yes there's blood on the median


Like a boat without oars


I had a friend who's heart was too heavy to hold


Too heavy to hold.


And it's so heavy to hold,


Yes there's blood on median


Like a boat without oars


Like a boat, without oars





It's all a facade x3


And nothing really matters now


x4


He's stranded somewhere on the Mesa St. exit


And sometimes I'm jealous waiting at the intersection
