Pansy Waltz

Well, he's out of season, out of sync
Oh lord, what must his family think:
'He must be getting his feathers wet'
Well, she always seems to be the top
Until she drops you like a rock
Well, you should've been a better friend to him

Well, I busted all the bones up in my yard,
I fixed the screen to raise the bar
But still you call me from the moon every single afternoon
Tell me all about the astronauts you'd come to love
And now the earth looks from above
Now, I should've been a better friend to you

But, I've never seen life as a chore,
a treasure fortified
I've read the news
Abused the booze
And often wondered why
My smile remains
The thinking paints
The average passer-by
Oh, they'll sink like stones into their homes
Away from teeth like mine

...

Yeah, and so I came to hate my skin
And all the holes you didn't
And the way you let my legs waltz the weeks away
By your side
Well, you should've been a better friend of mine

Well, I saw in you a brand new bird
The song of which I'd never heard
Oh, a melody so fine
The whole world would pride
And it's a tune to give the boys the blues
And turn the horses into glue
You know, I should've been a better friend to you
Yeah, I should've been a better friend to you

But, I've never seen life as a chore,
Or a treasure fortified
I've read the news
Abused the booze
And often wondered why
My smile remains
The thinking paints
The average passer-by
Well, they'll sink like stones into their homes
Away from teeth like mine

Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
