Pansy Waltz

Well he's out of season, out of sync

Oh lord, what must his family think?

And you must be getting his feathers wet

Plus she always seems to be the talk

Until she drops you like a rock

Well you should have a been a better friend to him

Well I dusted all the bones out in my yard

I fixed the screen door, raised the barn

But still you call me from the moon

Every single afternoon

Tell me all about the astronauts you've come to love

And how the Earth looks from above

And how I should've been, a better friend to you

But I've never seen life as a chore

A treasure for a find

I've read the news, abused the booze

And often wondered why

My smile remains, the thinking pains

The average passer by

Oh they'll sink like stones into their homes

Away from teeth like mine

Yes, so I came to hate my skin

And all the holes you'd hidden in

The way you let my legs walk slow weeks away

I wish I

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

Well I saw in you a brand new bird

The song of which I've never heard

Oh, a melody so fine

That whole world would whine

And it's the tune to give, the boys the blues

And to 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

Well, I've never seen life as a chore

Or a treasure for to find

I've read the news, abused the booze

And often wondered why

Oh my smile remains the thinking pains

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
