If You Need a Friend

None of the people I know seem to be sleeping well at night

Everyone's diagnosed with some kind of nervousness or fright

Where did the peaceful dreams of our childhood go?

None of the people I know seem to be living their own lives

Everyone's under control, trapped in a cubicle to die

Where did the glory dreams of our childhood go?

You know you sound crazy when you're screaming til you're bleedin'

And it may sound like its not true, I've done that to believe it

And if you should need it

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again

Up again, up again, up again, up again

Part of the gardner estate, was a concert made of paint

Ours to behold we were told, ten million times it weight in gold

Out her museum one night concert did go

I had a painting I loved, red graffiti on black gloss

It was lost in the travels we made, back in our homes we should have stayed

Up on the internet auctioning block it did go

I know it sounds crazy, but these colours make our feelings

When these things are stolen, it is worse than crime, it's killing

And if God is willing

When you need a friend, you won't have anyone to call you up again

Up again, up again, up again. up again

It's the middle of the night, and everythings alright

I'll go to bed alone again

Yeah everythings alright, but the dim street light, is flooding in the room again

And empty spaces that are next to me are a little freer than I care to be

It's still the middle of the night, yeah everythings alright

I'll go to bed alone again

It's free, a little freerer than I care to be

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again, up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again, up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again, up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again

If you need a friend, don't be afraid to call me up again, up again, up again, up again
