Old Friend Lyrics by Alex Ebert

Alexander

0

Mr. Magoo, he took off with Betty
And I'm on the porch carrying wood
My heart is confetti
I'm having a party
I'm feeling good

You say you're comin' to crush my skull
To bash in my face, and shatter my frown
To mingle my blood in with the ground
All this as the sun was setting down

Old friend, trying to hunt me down again
Old friend this is your exit, you're no, no no friend

Who is this man, who's afraid of death
Who fears it so that death's all he brings
I s'pose he'll wage war till nothing is left
With a mouth full of teeth and nothing to sing
Well he put his hands around my neck
And I s'pose I let him from natural respect
And he frothed at the mouth, I twinkled my eye
And gave him this vision just before I died

He saw his lines drawn in the sand
Upon a land of beauty and wind
And he in the distance dragging a flag pole
Across a desert that never will end

Old friend, trying to hunt me down again
Old friend this is your exit, you're no no no friend
