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
