Friends Like a Hole in the Head

Once upon a time
I felt I could rely on you,
and you back on me too
I told myself a lie
that couldn’t be described to you
if I told you this truth
Is something better than nothing?

Being friends is
better than nothing,
but, then again,
so is being kicked in the head
Some will say
at least you have something,
but, look ahead,
the future says
you’re better off dead
Thought being friends
would lead to something,
and, I’d pretend
that it’d never be something to dread
Need to be friends like
sleeping on a bed of spikes
or like a hole in the head

I promised to comply
but then turned on a dime, it’s true,
and didn’t even tell you
You trusted I’d abide
to let this line divide us into
a platonic set of two
Isn’t this really something?

Oh, being friends is
better than nothing,
but, then again,
so is being kicked in the head
Some will say
at least you have something,
but, look ahead,
the future says
you’re better off dead
Thought being friends
would lead to something,
and, I’d pretend
that it’d never be something to dread
Need to be friends like
sleeping on a bed of spikes…

I swore with pride
on a stack o’ Bibles
that we’d be
friends for life
until the end of time
Am I crazy?

Yeah, well, being friends is
better than nothing,
but, then again,
so is being kicked in the head
Some will say
at least you have something,
but, look ahead,
the future says
you’re better off dead
Thought being friends
would count for something,
and, I’d pretend
that it’d never be something to dread
Need to be friends like
sleeping on a bed of spikes
or like a hole in the head
