Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was burned in the heat of the moment
Though it could of been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted
A tear fell as I turned away
Now, I've got friends who will give me their shoulder
If I should happen to fall
With time and his bride growing older
Got friends who will give me fuck all
[Verse 2]
La, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, my baby
La, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la
[Verse 3]
Corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not-quite-day
Shiver ran down my backbone
Face in the mirror turned gray
So I looked round to hitch up a reindeer
Searching hard, trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise, he'd melted away, yeah
[Verse 4]
A la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, my baby
La, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la
[Verse 5]
As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside, my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns clay
I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
Why don't you ask my advice, take it slower
Let your story be your finest reward
[Verse 6]
A la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, my baby
La, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, now do it
[Verse 7]
Lost on the path to attainment
Searching the eyes of the wise
When I fled from the heart of the matter
Started bleeding without a disguise
Now that everything's finally behaving
Now and then, you got to take time to pose
'Cause if you're down on the ground, well, you're the best help around
If you land in a boat without oars
[Verse 8]
A la, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, my baby
La, la, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la, la, la
[Verse 9]
Hey, babe
Hey, babe
Hey, babe
I lost my way
[Verse 10]
Hey, babe
Hey, babe
I really, really did it
[Verse 11]
Hey, babe
Hey, babe
I don't know where I'm gonna die
[Verse 12]
Hey, babe
Hey, babe
Do you wanna, no, do you really, really wanna help me? Yeah
[Verse 13]
Let me tell you now, babe
Let me tell you
Well, it feels so good
Well, you must be right with my babe
Let me tell you
If it feels so good, then you must be right with my babe
Let me tell you
If it feels, if it feels, if it feels, if it feels so good
So good, so good, oh, yes
