You and me, we go way back You knew me when I drove that grey Zion TC We lived in that backseat Yeah You were always there when There was drama with my parents We were dreaming about marriage When we turn 22 A honeymoon in Paris I've seen you naked And you've seen me cry I know you blink twice when you tell a lie And I don't know what happened And now I gotta ask when I wanna know where you've been But now you're just a friend of friend Someone who I used to know Know every little thing about Baby we were so damn close But we ain't even talking now I used to be your momma's favourite You used to be my everything I never thought that I'd ever say Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) We don't speak, we're so distant Only see you at Christmas candlelight service And I get so nervous Why? It ain't like you're a stranger I don't follow you to follow me I just still look at your pictures You took down every one I was in Now you're just a friend of a friend Someone who I used to know Know every little thing about Baby we were so damn close But we ain't even talking now I used to be your momma's favourite You used to be my everything I never thought that I'd ever say (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Someone who I used to know Know every little thing about Baby we were so damn close But we ain't even talking now I used to be your momma's favourite You used to be my everything I never thought that I'd ever say Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend (Instrumental) Now you're just a friend of a friend

I can go anywhere that I want I just got to turn myself inside out and back to front With cut-out shapes and worn-out spaces Add some sparkles to create the right effect And they're all smiling, so I guess I'll stay At least 'til the disappointed have eaten themselves away Buried from the waist down Stop looking over our shoulder All the window balconies, they seem so flimsy As our friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun I guess I believe in an altered state Where they leave their windows and their doors open wide Here, the telephone lines are always busy Unable to give a reason or a straight answer Buried from the waist down Stop looking over our shoulder We need to get it together From our window balconies, we take a tumble As our friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun All of that money, where did it go? Where did it go? In somebody's pocket, a friend of a friend All the loose change, loose change

We are secrets to each other Each ones life a novel no one else has read Even joined in bonds of love We're linked to one another by such slender threads We are planets to each other Drifting in our orbits to a brief eclipse Each of us a world apart Alone and yet together like to passing ships Just between us I think its time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes fear to show Just between us I think it's time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room For you and I to grow We are strangers to each other Full of sliding panels An illusion show Acting well rehearsed routines Or playing from the heart? It's hard for one to know Just between us I think it's time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes fear to show Just between us I think it's time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room For you and I to grow We are islands to each other Building hopeful bridges on a troubled sea Some are burned or swept away Some we would not choose But we're not always free Just between us I think it's time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes fear to show Just between us I think it's time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room for you and to grow

If I could wave my magic wand I am made from the dust of the stars And the oceans flow in my veins Here I hide in the heart of the city Like a stranger coming out of the rain The evening plane rises up from the runway Over constellations of light I look down into a million houses And wonder what you're doing tonight If I could wave my magic wand I'd make everything all right I'm not one to believe in magic But I sometimes have a second sight I'm not one with a sense of proportion When my heart still changes overnight I had a dream of a winter garden A midnight rendezvous Silver, blue and frozen silence What a fool I was for you I had a dream of the open water I was swimming away out to sea So deep I could never touch bottom What a fool I used to be If I could wave my magic wand I'd set everybody free I'm not one to believe in magic Though my memory has a second sight I'm not one to go pointing my finger When I radiate more heat than light Don't ask me, I'm just improvising My illusion of careless flight Can't you see my temperature's rising? I radiate more heat than light Don't ask me, I'm just sympathizing My illusion's a harmless flight Can't you see my temperature's rising? I radiate more heat than light I'm not one to believe in magic But I sometimes have a second sight I'm not one with a sense of proportion When my heart still changes overnight I'm not one to believe in magic (If I could wave my magic wand) Though my memory has a second sight (I'd make everything all right) I'm not one to go pointing my finger (If I could wave my magic wand) When I radiate more heat than light (I'd set everybody free) I'm not one to believe in magic (If I could wave my magic wand) I'm not one to believe in magic

The snakes and arrows a child is heir to Are enough to leave a thousand cuts We build our defenses, a place of safety And leave the darker places unexplored Sometimes the fortress is too strong Or the love is too weak What should have been our armor Becomes a sharp and angry sword Our better natures seek elevation A refuge for the coming night No one gets to their heaven without a fight No one We hold beliefs as a consolation A way to take us out of ourselves Meditation, or medication A comfort, or a promised reward Sometimes that spirit is too strong Or the flesh is too weak Sometimes the need is just too great For the solace we seek The suit of shining armor Becomes a keen and bloody sword No one gets to their heaven without a fight A refuge for the coming night A future of eternal light No one gets to their heaven without a fight No one Confused alarms of struggle and flight Blood is drained of color By the flashes of artillery light No one gets to their heaven without a fight The battle flags are flown At the feet of a god unknown No one gets to their heaven, heaven No one gets to their heaven without a fight Sometimes the damage is too great Or the will is too weak What should have been our armor Becomes a sharp and burning sword No one gets to their heaven without a fight A refuge for the coming night A future of eternal light No one gets to their heaven without a fight No one No one gets to their heaven without a fight

Well, you can stake that claim Good work is the key to good fortune Winners take that praise Losers seldom take that blame If they don't take that game And sometimes the winner takes nothing We draw our own designs Fortune has to make that frame We go out in the world and take our chances Fate is just the weight of circumstances That's the way that lady luck dances So roll the bones Roll the bones Why are we here, because we're here Roll the bones, roll the bones Why does it happen, because it happens Roll the bones, roll the bones Faith is cold as ice Why are little ones born only to suffer For the want of immunity or a bowl of rice?

We come into the world and take our chances Fate is just the weight of circumstances That's the way that lady luck dances Roll the bones Roll the bones Why are we here, because we're here Roll the bones, roll the bones Why does it happen, because it happens Roll the bones, roll the bones Why are we here, because we're here Roll the bones, roll the bones Why does it happen? Jack relax, get busy with the facts No zodiacs or almanacs, no maniacs in polyester slacks Just the facts gonna kick some gluteus max It's a parallax, you dig? You move around, the small gets big, it's a rig It's action, reaction, random interaction So who's afraid of a little abstraction? Can't get no satisfaction from the facts? You better run, boy A fact's a fact, from Nome to Rome, boy What's the deal, spin the wheel If the dice are hot, take a shot Play your cards, show us what you got What you're holding, if the cards are cold don't go folding Luck is golden, she favors the bold, that's cold Stop throwing stones, the night has a thousand saxophones So get out there and rock and roll the bones, get busy Roll the bones Why are we here, because we're here Roll the bones, roll the bones Why does it happen, because it happens Roll the bones, roll the bones Why are we here, because we're here Roll the bones, roll the bones Why does it happen, because it happens Roll the bones, roll the bones Why does it happen, because it happens Roll the bones, roll the bones Why are we here, because we're here Roll the bones Because we're here
