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   ah, he's talking to me   He's saying   "At school they taught me a prayer for money,   a prayer for crap jobs right till I die   never a prayer for 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 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 are we won't always be   and shit man that could be me   getting hurt, hurting someone   getting all crashed down upon   burning holes in butterfly's wings   while wishing just 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   I know you are lonely, you'll always be   You are so many things you will not always be.
