Old Friends
Lee Bains
[Verse 1]
Lost my old friend
Fell headlong into his phone
Hunched and writhed at his computer so long
It pulverized his bones
Pulverized his bones
[Verse 2]
Lost my old friend
Hunkered down in the decay
Each shot of dope was a sandbag to the flood
'Til her brittle veins gave way
Her brittle veins gave way
[Refrain]
Ah
Out in the pines
Ah
Ah
[Verse 3]
Lost my old friend
He's cowerin' in his shed
Armed up against infidels, invaders, criminals, sinners
Mind to dust, heart to lead
Burnt his mind to dust and his heart to lead
[Refrain]
Ah
Out in thе pines
Ah
Ah
