Old Friend - Alexander
Written by：Alex Ebert
Mr Magoo
He took off
With
Betty
And I'm on
The porch
Carrying
Wood
My
Heart
Is
Confetti
I'm having a
Party
I'm feeling good
You say
You're comin'
To crush
My skull
To bash in
My face
And shatter
My frown
To mingle my blood
In with the ground
All this as
The sun
Was setting down
Old
Friend
Trying to hunt
Me down again
Old
Old friend
This is
Your exit
You're
No
No
No
Friend
Who is this man
Who's afraid of death
Who fears it so
That
Death's all he brings
I s'pose he'll
Wage war
Till nothing
Is left
With a mouth
Full of teeth
And nothing
To sing
Well he put
His hands
Around my neck
And I s'pose
I let him
From
Natural respect
He frothed
At the mouth
I twinkled my eye
And gave him
This vision
Just before I died
He saw his lines
Drawn in the sand
Upon a land of
Beauty and wind
And he in the distance
Dragging a flag pole
Across a desert
That never will end
Old
Friend
Trying to hunt
Me down again
Old friend
This is your exit
You're
No
No
No
Friend
