My Friend Mal Lyrics by Venice on Fire

My Friend Mal (single)

2018

My friend Mal's been all strung out
He's been hanging around the Translink passenger lounge
Waiting for his lover of a clinical style
He's so happy, he's so happy

Sheds his own skin every night of the week
His missus treats him like a bitch when he's feeling the heat
I haven't got the guts to say he makes me sick yeah
He's so happy, he's so happy

If I could go back in time, to fix wrongs, defend rights
I know that, without a doubt
I'd go save my friend Mal

My friend Mal's the butt of every joke
There's another dimension where he's never flat broke
He loves to slide in with a piece of the coke yeah
He's so happy, he's so happy
I caught him trying to sneak in through my window again
He says he needs a little money for a friend of a friend
And this is about the part where I eventually bend
He's so happy, he's so happy

If I could go back in time, to fix wrongs, defend rights
I know that, without a doubt
I'd go save my friend Mal

Acid, weed, caps, sniff of some coke
My friend Mal's always good for a joke
How can you stand to stay with a friend
Who treats you like shit, in every respect?

I ran into his room, set fire to his bed
Said a lot of things I really wish I hadn't have said
Maybe I was telling him an unfortunate truth that
He's not happy, He's not happy

I drove away crying
I don't even know why
I just wanted him to know

They called me at 10 to 3
I fell down onto my knees
I just screamed until I cried
Cos I learnt
The news that night

If I could go back in time, to fix wrongs, defend rights
I know that, without a doubt
I'd go save my friend Mal
