I had a friend when I was a kid
He was afraid of becoming a man
He talked lightly of money and growing a beard
He was all that his pappa could stand
And he got to the age where he filled up with rage
Like an hourglass fills up with sand
Well even though he was so low he knew how to live for the day, hey hey

Even when he was ten he could make a bright colour from grey hey hey

He did it for love
He did it for pain
He did it for all that he’d been through before and he did it again And again...

I had a friend when I lived in LA
He had long hair and only wore black
I met him at the house of a man or a mouse
He didn’t talk ‘til I played Townes Van Zandt
And at the point in time we would say down the line
We became friends and never looked back
But even though what you know’s what you know well it’s who that remains, hey
Even then it’s a countdown from when you might meet up again, hey hey

So do it for love
Do it for pain
Do it for all that you’ve been through before and then do it again And again

All into all we remain something small
We behave like the rest of the world
There ain’t nothing that you can do and not feel blue and not be untrue, it just ain’t that way

So live for the day
And live for the hour
And live for the minute you came to this earth and the minute you’ll leave

And do it for love
Do it for pain
Do it for all that you’ve been through before and then do it again And again and again and again, and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

I had a friend when I was a kid
He was afraid of becoming a man
