Can We Still Be Friends - Todd Rundgren

We can? t play this game anymore But can we still be friends? Things just can? t go on like before But can we still be friends? We had something to learn Now it? s time for the wheel to turn Grains of sand, one by one Before you know, it? s all gone Let? s admit we made a mistake But can we still be friends? (Can we still be friends?) Heartbreak? s never easy to take But can we still be friends? (Can we still be friends?) It? s a strange sad affair Sometimes seems that we just don? t care Don? t waste time feeling hurt We? ve been through hell together Can we still be friends? Can we still get together sometimes? (Can we still be friends?) Hey babe, can we still go on and on and on? We awoke from our dream Things are not always what they seem Memories linger on It? s like a sweet, sad, old song Can we still be friends?

It's a ribbon or a chain It sits in your head I got this fire in my heart that never gets waned I live on the bright side Stumble through the night It's not that easy to find Ooh We can be friends It's a long night in the canyon We build our cities with our mind on fire You can carry your heart if you don't mind So take it or leave it Like wind in your hair I've got desire and delusion that sits on a chair I'm workin' on my bad side Labor through the night I know it's harder to find (Ah) Ooh We can be friends It's a long night in the canyon We build our cities with our mind on fire You can carry your heart if you don't mind [?] highway [?] highway Highway Ooh We can be friends It's a long night in the canyon We build our cities with our mind on fire You can carry your heart if you don't mind Ooh We can be friends It's a long night in the canyon We build our cities with our mind on fire You can carry your heart if you don't mind

Could you be my best friend? Let's hang out every weekend We're driving every night Stare at people that we like Could you be my best friend? I'll tell you all my secrets I'll tell you all the times That I wished that I could die And if anybody fucks with you They fuck with me So, if anybody fucks with you I'll knock their teeth out (yeah) Could you be my best friend? Can we be friends? Could you be my best friend? Can we be friends?

Love's followed my memories Drawn out into infinity Tried to grasp them but I always miss Time goes by so fast as though it hardly wants to exist Let's make a mask of our face, of our hands So that we can be still for a while For a while For a while All the many ways that you can choose to be alive All the countless steps you take before you have arrived All the passing faces going quickly on their way Where are they going so quickly And where are you going to the same One moment you're awake and making a sound A lover asleep in your ground In your ground In your ground Well shall we wrap it all up in bows Thank you i have all my thoughts to go Wrapped up in a bow to the rest of my song To hide away To hide it away To hide it away Yeah hoping somebody might find it Yeah hoping somebody might find it Yeah hoping somebody might find it Yeah hoping somebody might find it

Marlene, Marlene You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen Do you care for me at all, Marlene? I care for you And I just don't care who knows it And I guess that means that I love you Marlene (Marlene) Marlene (Marlene) Who'd believe that you're only seventeen? I'm in trouble if your folks get mean And if they do Then I don't care if they bust me And I guess that means that I love you I don't need no fantasies Just one thing I need If you could make it here, Marlene Dear, Marlene Marlene (Marlene) Marlene (Marlene) When I think that it all is just a dream I remember that your eyes are green And mine are blue They will always see each other And I guess that means that I love you I don't need realities Just one thing I need If you could make it here, Marlene Dear, Marlene Marlene, Marlene I'm depending on you now, Marlene (Marlene) I'm depending on you now, Marlene (Marlene) I'm depending on you now, Marlene (Marlene) I'm depending on you now, Marlene (Marlene) I'm depending on you now, Marlene

Black maria, you scare me so I feel as though my heart stop dead You're a liar, this I know I watch you go around my head Oh, I'm going down slow You scare me so Oh, you never let go You scare me so Gay deceiver, my eyes they burned My insides turned, my brain it rolled Unbeliever, but now I've learned I took my turn, I come up cold Oh, I'm going down slow You scare me so Oh, you never let go You scare me so If you must kill me Please let me die, Lord (Ooh) Black maria, you scare me so I feel as though my heart stop dead You're a liar, this I know I watch you go around my head Oh, I'm going down slow You scare me so Oh, you never let go You scare me so If you must kill me Please let me die, Lord
