Friend of the Family

Lyrics for Friend of the Family

My nerves are buzzing, working Eyes are flashing, jerking My feelings on the windshield Night air as cold as chainmail Takes me back to the first day The little girl in you spoke to me You know that 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 I think it's time Yeah, you learned how to drive You just say "Hi" to the big time Bride, leather, lime Memories divine White lace bracelets, charms Silent alarms You and I work in factories We run the big machinery The will to try leaves sullenly 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 Funeral of our love Yeah, friends of the family Ah, Miss Critical Might find your mind is worn out 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? Sleep, young bride-to-be, no more Whatever we do now's been done before I'm gonna drive out to the end of a dirt road To a place where nothing living goes Gonna run afoot 'til 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 Ooh, 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
