We might be friends
We could be rivals
You could die
While singing Sugaree
The Rag Band
will play me
Love Somebody For Life
Then I will be free

There was nothing special
Magical enough
As I spun around
enough to pull you in
Twirling ribbons
snapping the heads from roses
We all kept trying
To make something begin

I plucked the fear and hope
from the sweet scented
meaning of passion
until I swallowed the stem
The pink light
bathed me in heat
Who else was dancing
to your disco beat?

The girl who can make anyone happy
Will never be able to find her own joy
It's not anyone else's fault but her own
That's what's always bringing her down

Even if you ain't got a lick of sense to your face
if you find her on your journey
Remind her she has to carry her own love
Through the darkness to bring it to light

Cause I might have made it
If someone woulda told me
Now that I need them the most
No one is writing songs for me

We should be friends
We will be rivals
I could spy
through reading Sugaree
The blues Band
will play you
Love Somebody Tonight
Then maybe you'll see

Sit down to watch your TV
Banter around things
about the times you know
Pour yourself a drink of wine
While I sit beside the radio
waiting all along for mine
cause baby you know
I ain't got nothing but time

Tear down the nightmares
from the deepest ocean
where the third eye glows
until you drown in sentiment
The pink light
bathed you in heat
Who else was playing
for the wisping cloud?

The boy who shows people how to love
Will never be able to find his own amour
It's not anyone else's fault but his own
And that's what brings him down

Even if you ain't got a touch of truth in your soul
if you find him on your journey
Remind him he has to carry his own head
Through the darkness to bring it to light

Cause he might have made it
If someone woulda told 'im
When they needed it the most
Were the songs written for her

We will be friends
long past the revelry
moving through
the lines of Sugaree
The Jam Band
will play us
never never let Love go
wherever we might be

In case something is there
important enough
to reel around about
till we fall to the floor
cheerful exhaustion
floating about
spinning out exactly
what we have in store

spare me the simplicity
of your unspeakable doubt
dragging us to darkness
holding us after the blast
The pink light
will find us burning up
while everyone is gonna
cross the finish line last

These two exceptional children
Will never make it on their own
Stuck inside their acceptance
That they will never pass alone

Even if you don't know the right things
we all gotta take our own journey
to teach us the things we can't seem to learn
That we have to bring ourselves out the light

Cause we might just make it
If someone coulda told us
When we needed it the most
Someone should be writng songs for me
