[00:17.490]Well he's out of season, out of sync
[00:20.590]Oh lord, what must his family think?
[00:22.890]And you must be getting his feathers wet
[00:26.550]Plus he always seems to be the talk
[00:28.790]Until she drops you like a rock
[00:31.000]Well you should've been a better friend to him
[00:35.100]Well I dusted all the bones out in my yard
[00:36.790]I fixed the screen door, raised the barn
[00:38.690]But still you call me from the moon
[00:40.790]Every single afternoon
[00:43.100]Tell me all about the astronauts you've come to love
[00:45.890]And how the earth looks from above
[00:47.000]And how I should've been a better friend to you
[00:54.020]But I've never seen life as a chore
[00:57.890]A treasure for a find
[01:02.290]I've read the news, abused the booze
[01:07.100]And often wondered why
[01:11.200]My smile remains the thinking pains
[01:14.800]The average passerby
[01:18.200]Oh they'll sink like stones into their homes
[01:23.900]Away from teeth like mine
[01:45.800]Yes, so I came to hate my skin
[01:49.200]And all the holes you'd hidden in
[01:51.000]The way you let my legs walk slow weeks away
[01:54.500]I wish I -
[01:58.200]Well, you should've been a better friend of mine
[02:02.700]Well I saw in you a brand new bird
[02:05.100]The song of which I'd never heard
[02:07.200]Oh, a melody so fine
[02:09.200]That whole world would whine
[02:11.100]And it's a tune to give the boys the blues
[02:13.700]And turn the horses into glue
[02:15.500]You know, I should've been a better friend to you
[02:19.100]Yeah, I should've been a better friend to you
[02:25.100]Well, I've never seen life as a chore
[02:30.700]Or a treasure for to find
[02:35.000]I've read the news, abused the booze
[02:39.100]And often wondered why
[02:43.100]Oh my smile remains the thinking pains
[02:47.200]The average passerby
[02:51.300]They'll sink like stones into their homes
[02:55.800]Away from teeth like mine
[03:21.200]Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
[03:24.700]Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
