Gold Friends 01:10
In a couple days I'll be going out again for coffee with a friend of mine A good friend of mine And we would be friends All the way through high school but now look at how our friendship's grown We're a hundred years old now Now we're growing old Looking back on all the years we've spent together

Ancient writings Written on a page Enclosed in a book In the golden age Ancient writings And how can this be? But they're waiting for you And they'll rewrite history In the darkness All through the night Someone is writing By the candlelight What are they writing? And what was foretold? But the people they're writing to Are negative two thousand years old

In the year 900 I took a medieval sword And slashed a hole right through the tortured sky And from the blackness Came a man Unborn from the wretched ones

Late night At the office again To many hours behind a computer screen Come home Kids are in bed What's this waiting on the mantlepiece? Christmas Surprise For me Christmas surprise And you're the greatest, honey Settle in Lights down low Just in time as it begins to snow

I went down to Boston I went to Jamaica Plain I met myself a cat Her name was Christopher Mullins Christopher Mullins You're a heck of a cat You know where it's at And you play in the flowers Your mystical powers And all of your friends Will be with you till the end

My car is in the shop My mind has been replaced When will I get it back? How do I make my case? Somebody's on the phone But I can't bring it to my face And it's Hard times on easy street Hard times on easy street
15.
You and I come from different worlds But we've got to face the zombies I'm talking to you Sticking together Friends forever You and I You and I You and I Come from different worlds
16.
Making coffee for me Conserving oxygen for me I'll be sure to use it well But there is no moon without you There's only stars and the vast expanse Of empty space between I'm so alone without you I'm so alone on this cold desolate rocket ship without you I'm so alone without you I'm so alone on this cold desolate rocket ship without you
17.
My baby's out of control She calls me on the phone She calls me a hundred times I pick up the phone so she'll leave me alone But then the phone rings But I already picked it up And she calls my name And I go into a trance My baby's out of control My baby's out of control Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

German chocolate cake On my plate, stay up late Fall asleep in front of the T.V. Watching a documentary Staying up late Eating chocolate cake That was my mistake
19.
In the morning I step outside I look at balloons in the forlorn skies And I cant help but think about balloons And where they're going to go In the evening, when no one's around I fold all my socks and I write a few songs When I write them, I burn like a pyre Then I think about balloons fir a while
20.
I went down to Boston I went to Jamaica Plain I met myself a cat Her name was Christopher Mullins Christopher Mullins You're a heck of a cat You know where it's at And you play in the flowers Your mystical powers And all of your friends Will be with you till the end
