Friend Without a Name Lyrics by The Nursery

Life After Wartime

2017

[Verse 1]
My body's captured as above so below
Living in the rapture of what I've come to know
Now that your face is not quite the same
I want a friend, a friend without a name
My head is full of magic, my body's here to haunt
I've kept what I can, but not what I want
I'm hearing all yr candy whispering
And running all through my veins
And I want a friend, yes a friend without a name
[Chorus]
Take my ears and my eyes
You gotta spin right around and run for your life
Take my tongue and my lungs
Strip my skin to no surprise
You gotta spin right around and run for your life
Take my tongue and my lungs
[Verse 2]
Breathe on me slowly and don't let it end
I don't want to break you, just wanna watch you bend
The love that you gave me once before
Has left both of us maimed
Just like a friend a friend without a name
[Chorus]
Take my ears and my eyes
You gotta spin right around and run for your life
Take my tongue and my lungs
Strip my skin to no surprise
You gotta spin right around and run for your life
Take my tongue and my lungs
[Verse 3]
When I can't see it I follow the sound
When I can't hear it I walk on hallowed ground
When it feels like everything I've felt before
But your face is not the same
I want a friend, yes a friend without a name
[Chorus]
Take my ears and my eyes
You gotta spin right around and run for your life
Take my tongue and my lungs
Strip my skin to no surprise
You gotta spin right around and run for your life
Take my tongue and my lungs
