Back when I was first on my own Before I had me a love before playing in a band At the tender under age Not old enough to drink but the best age to get drunk You were all in the world that I had Just me and my unusual friend
Playing songs to the magic box 'Til through holes in the old rotten roof snowed the cold light of the morning Back when you, substitute for girls Surrogate for food and the passer of the time In the aching dehydrated dawn With my bruised up heart on the mend And I'd hold you in my hand Yeah I'll miss you my unusual friend
I knew that if you stuck around One weird warm night you'd sneak in my room and kill me And then float out of my lungs on a breeze But I'll miss you my unusual friend 'Cause you were all in the world that I had Yeah I'll miss you my unusual friend
