I once had a friend

They found him in a car

A hose to the window

And the motor running hot

Seems he couldn¹t take it

The rhetoric of life

Someone found him naked

With a note right by his side

A note right by his side



He can¹t take it back

Neither can I

No, neither can I



Mommy and daddy

I¹ve borrowed the car

to sleep on the floor

I¹m sorry so much

For bringing my own living hell to

your door

Thanks for all the flowers

At the ringside seat

Thanks for nothing everyone

The prayers were too weak



This is the way

It happens all the time

Can you pay attention

To everyone that cries

Remember you can make it through

And make it new

Only if you try

You gotta try



Cause you can¹t take it back

Neither can I

No, neither can I



Mommy and daddy

I¹ve borrowed the car

to sleep on the floor

I¹m sorry so much

For bringing my own living hell to

your door

But things had gotten heaven

Everything was deep

Nothing really mattered

So I just went to sleep

I just went to sleep

And I can¹t take it back

I won¹t try



I won¹t try

I won¹t try

I won¹t try

I won¹t try



Mommy and daddy

I¹ve borrowed the car

to sleep on the floor

Mommy and daddy

I¹m sorry to tell you, life is a bore

Don¹t send any flowers

Don¹t send anymore

Cause I can¹t give no more
