Artist: At the Drive-In
Song: embroglio
I had a friend who died for something he really loved
I had a friend who stood for none of the above
I had a friend whose experience was riddled with scars
Who got drunk one night in the trunk of Louie P.'s car
I had a friend who'd love to scare you as was his affections
And tremble you did 'cause you weren't worthy of his friendship
I had a friend, but now he's stranded on the Mesa st. exit
And sometimes I'm jealous 'cause I'm still at the intersection
I had a friend whose heart was too heavy to hold
Yes there's blood on the median like a boat without oars
Duct tape the cross on the brown colored box
Single file line on the unpaved road
They tipped their hats, respect for the dead
In Juarez, Mexico, where they buried my friend
There are no words to express
The loss I feel since you've been away
You made this typical sad song
A physical classroom
Where I learned nothing
Just flashes of your face
Just flashes of your face
And my solution is
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
And nothing really matters now
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
But nothing really matters now
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
But nothing really matters now
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
He's stranded somewhere on the Mesa St. exit
And sometimes I'm jealous waiting at the intersection
His heart was too heavy to hold
Yes there's blood on the median like a boat without oars
I had a friend who's heart was too heavy to hold, too heavy to hold
And it's so heavy to hold
Yes there's blood on median like a boat without oars
Like a boat, without oars
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
But nothing really matters now
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
But nothing really matters now
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
But nothing really matters now
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
It's all a facade
