The sadness in our lives, my friend, will slowly fade away
But until time works it's magic we must struggle through the day
How long must we be transient, unwanted, and astray
From sorrow how long must we flee?
But the night will be much kinder and accept us as we are
And treat us with impunity when we have gone too far
Forgive all our shortcomings, and meet us at the bar
Happiness for a small fee
And the dawn may bring it's demons, and may blind us with it's truth
As we vomit last nights fun to find another loosened tooth
Clinging on to toilet seats, and clinging on to youth
Can you hear the creak of my weak knee
But let's not be too hard on us, let's revel in this joy
Which may be gone tomorrow so let's stop being coy
I know outside you're greying, but inside you're still a boy
And you have a brother in me
So raise a gla** to friendship, don't forget to bring the pills
We've drank, and fought, and f**ed our way up many love-lone hills
On our quest for ever deeper love and ever cheaper thrills
Is this how it feels to be free?
