From the recording Tales from the Self-Help Section
Lyrics
“friends” (j. jackson)
I got friends
I don't know how they found me
I got friends
To clean & dress my wounds
I got you
To love me something fierce
No matter what I do
Despite the mess I make of things
I got you
I got friends
To keep my whistle blowin'
I got friends
Karaoke in the middle of the night
I got you
To excise all my demons
They're scared of you
& the light that you let shine
I got you
When it gets hard
To get by
I think of you
How in the hell did our worlds collide?
I got friends
You know I might be biased
Because my friends
Get me higher than a Pink Floyd track
When I got you
There is no denyin'
Bullet-proof
To the shrapnel swirlin' around
When I got you
We're dancing on
A thin red line
But where would I be
Without these friends of mine?
