Last night an old friend came knocking on my door   I let him in, let him sleep on my floor   He spoke to me in a voice I'd known long before   Baking soda and tin foil to purify his score   Sing the song now      Yeah-ha   Yeah   Yeah-ha   Yeah      Last night death came swinging down from the moon   Drinking Argentine wine with a black attitude   Saying reality is the baggage, the airport is truth   He asked for one cigarette, you gave him two      And I try so hard just to get to you   But I'm surrounded by midnight singing these two white boy blues      I said you must leave take your mirror and your straw   If you're too tired to walk, baby, you can always crawl   In your desperate moments, in your bathroom stall   Take your Andy Warhol, it's getting close to dawn      Yeah-ha   Yeah   Yeah-ha   Yeah      Youth lost me running through the fields   She caught me off guard, baby, she caught me by the heels   A child of nature does not know how to feel   We know what she bought but, baby, what did she steal?      And I try so hard just to get to you   But I'm surrounded by midnight singing these two white boy blues      I drove into Cassie    With all my might    In a van bound for Dakota at Christmas time   I knew her in Havre, everything was fine   By the time we hit Glasgow, baby we were in a fight      Yeah-ha   Yeah   Yeah-ha   Yeah       Yesterday was Tuesday, Diana knows it so well   From the trailer park to the ghetto to the wishing well   We pray for our lady welfare, deliver us from Hell   Jerk off the movie usher, sound the fire bell      And I try so hard just to get to you   But I'm surrounded by midnight singing these white boy blues      Last night an old friend came knocking on my door   He was dressed in ribbons from the Persian Gulf war   He spoke to me in a voice I've known long before   I said the man you once knew don't live here anymore   I said the man you once knew don't live here anymore   I said the man you once knew don't live here anymore   [screaming] I said the man you once knew don't live here anymore
