Friend Of The Family Lyrics

Friend Of The Family lyrics

My nerves are buzzing and working

Eyes are flashing and jerking

My
feelings on the windshield

Night air as cold as chain mail

Takes me
back to the first day

The little girl in you spoke to me

You know,
it spoke right to me

Sweet cream dream girl

Too much, it's just
like candy

I won't forget it quickly

Blind ride on highway 80

And I think it's time you learn how to drive

Say hi to the big time

Bright lemon lime memories that rhyme

White lace, bracelet charms and
silent alarms

You and I work in factories

We run the big
machinery

The will to try leaves slowly

The murder goes on daily

Don't give me phobias walking the cable

We'll go when we're willing and
stop when we're able

I wish these cards on no one's table

And when
love is crowded out I'm a friend of the family

At the funeral of our love
just a friend of the family

Ah, Miss Critical, might find you're minus one
now

If there's someone you love now, tell them you love them right now

Have we been cheated of three of our seasons?

How could we break off
for such practical reasons?

All the right reasons

Sleep young bride
to be no more

Whatever we do now has been done before

I'm going to
drive out to the end of the dirt road

To a place where no one living
goes

I'm going to run on foot till I can't feel the cold

And find a
sunrise so beautiful

It would capture your soul

And shoot it full of
holes

Well we could hate ourselves

Just like the friends of the
family do

We could quit our jobs

Just like the friends of the
family do

We could change our minds

Just like the friends of the
family do

Step right over the line

Just like the friends of the
family do
