I once had a friend They found him in a car A hose to the window And the motor running hot
Seems he couldn't take it The rhetoric of life Someone found him naked With a note right by his side By his side Oh, by his side
He can't take it back Neither can I No, neither can I
Mommy and daddy I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor I'm sorry so much For bringing my own living hell to your door Thanks for all the flowers at the ringside seat Thanks for nothing, everyone The prayers were too weak
This is the way it happens, all the time Can you pay attention to everyone that cries? Remember, you can make it through And make it new Only if you try You gotta try You better try
'Cause you can't take it back And neither can I No, neither can I
Mommy and daddy I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor I'm sorry so much For bringing my own living hell to your door But things had gotten heavy Everything was deep Nothing really mattered So, I just went to sleep I just went to sleep
And I can't take it back I won't try
I won't try I won't try I won't try I won't try
Mommy and daddy I've borrowed the car to sleep on the floor Mommy and daddy I'm sorry to tell you, life is a bore Don't send any flowers Don't send anymore 'Cause I can't give more No more
