For My Friends

from Goodnight Gary by Drew Danburry

/

lyrics

Well I left Butch to spend time up by Sundance,
Leland it's strange to think how we've changed through the years
How our old friends have left us in their memory,
but never reminding us that we are still here.
Miss Borup oh Miss Borup please fit me into your next movie script
and let me play the part, I think that I could make it a big hit.
I know full well how much more difficult settling down as a star would be
But oh how I could use extra money
St Elmo's fire has leaped upon the garrets,
McKay, the problem is I live my own advice.
But I've been looking smart and talking smarter,
now I'm more well aware of how I've paid the price
If I were Seve I'd sing about scars, sailors, cowboys and wolves
but I can't outdraw such a handsome gent with just this pen and prose
the longer she's close by my side the greater that this grating distance grows
and we keep acting as if we both didn't know
Now we've perfected sophistry by making it seem so sincere,
with ritualized agitated airborne blows
and there's no question anyone is questioning your faith and creed,
but it's why you're the type who's belladonna grows
so close to everyone who's faith is blind or anyone who takes no thought
to how they became who they are or how they got the things they got
perspective shared reactions reaching where we never know nor will ever see
so use that mirror for a scale not vanity
