Dead Friend

[Verse 1]

You don't worry about tomorrow anymore

Because you're dead

Or does anything still echo?

Is there any trace left?

Well I know she still remembers

She sleeps with your picture by her bed

They shaved your face and they washed your hair clean

You were wearing the jacket that I met you in

[Chorus]

Well how could I not have guessed

She would fall in love with the first boy

She kissed in a casket?

God damn it

God damn, I miss my dead friend

[Verse 2]

We buried your body

Into the hard Oklahoma ground

John Paul Allison, the orphan boy Pope

She waits for you to haunt her

She sleeps with your ghost at night in bed

When you died, you were only twenty-six

The most real person that I've ever met

[Chorus]

Well how could I not have guessed

She would fall in love with the first boy

She kissed in a casket?

God damn it

God damn, I miss my dead friend

[Bridge]

Oh, your cold dead hands

Oh, your cold dead lips

Oh, your cold dead heart

Oh, your cold dead kiss

Oh, your cold dead hands

Oh, your cold dead lips

Oh, your cold dead heart

Oh, your cold dead kiss

[Chorus]

Well how could I not have guessed

Well how could I not have guessed

She would fall in love with the first boy

She kissed in a casket?

She would fall in love with the first boy

She kissed in a casket?

She would fall in love with the first boy

She kissed in a casket?

God damn it

God damn, I miss my dead friend
