Lyrics
I got another telephone call
from a good friend of mine
it's the same old message
every single time
I can't believe they never learn the line
a junkies gonna get you
in the end sometime
all my friends have come and gone away
something in the air spells heartbreak
it's clearly not a style
and I don't wanna be the one
who's gotta break it to
another mother about her child
well I guess I'm just a fake
cause I never learned to play that high
yeah I guess I'm just a fake
cause I never found out
what it was like
to live that wild
oh I want you to know
the next step will be the best
oh I want you to know
the next step will let you rest in the sun
like a an ole brown dog lying in the sun
like an ole brown dog dying in the sun
yeah I'm gonna be there lying in the sun.....
