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?
