Asking For A Friend Lyrics

Sweet Billy Pilgrim Asking For A Friend

I am asking
I am asking for a friend
For a friend (x2)

Is everything important
The face you should remember but you don't
The gasoline smell as you light a smoke
Where's the punchline to a joke
That won't end?

Oh, I'm asking for a friend

I am asking
I am asking for a friend
For a friend

Yes, I'm asking
I am asking for a friend
For a friend

Is this a bed to lie in?
Somehere we can cry out in the dark
With sheets we pull like shrouds over our hearts
Half-full wolves encircled us
One second

Oh, I'm asking for a friend

I am asking
I am asking for a friend
For a friend

What of those good intentions?
Those clumsy interventions out of line
With hope when you are looking for a sign
An unikely paradigm
What then?

Oh, I'm asking for a friend
