The Friend

[Verse 1] Imagine you're the same as everyone You’re perfectly the same as all the people you know And everyone you know is just a face on a wall And if you wanna be alone, they've got a pill for it all You just have to ask and it will come to you A friendly voice that always knows the best for you A comfortable room where you are never alone A tightly-sealed womb from which you'll never be born [Chorus] And the friend in the corner offers everything and nothing at all And the friend in the corner watches everything, no matter how small See, the friend took a reading at the moment you were born And the friend will be watching when you check out of it all Never left you, never let you fall Never felt a single thing for you at all Your friend ’til the end Your perfect and permanent friend [Verse 2] It gave you everything that you could ever want And life is so much easier than it ever was And if you feel alone it can pretend you're in love Mimic anything that you've been dreaming of You just have to ask and it will come to you A friendly voice that always knows the best for you A comfortable room where you are never alone A tightly-sealed womb from which you'll never be born [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] And if you ever wonder what lies outside the walls And if you ever cry out for an end to it all First the friend takes a reading, then the friend makes a cure Then the friend sits and watches 'til you don't care anymore Shows a thousand smiling faces on your wall Happy people who invite you to join their song They sing along Over and over again [Outro] On and on and on It's the same, the same, the same On and on and on It's the same for everyone On and on and on It’s the same, the same, the same On and on and on It’s the same for everyone On and on and on It's the same, the same, the same On and on and on It’s the same for everyone On and on and on It's the same for everyone [Instrumental Outro]
