When will my friend start singing again?
And the kids gather 'round trying to see what's inside
And it's breaking my heart to pour like the rain
The bruise turns a tall gentle boy to a terrible totem
I think when he's drinking he's drowning some riot
What is my friend trying to prove?
What is my friend trying to hide?
Brother of mine, don't run with those fuckers
Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles
'Cause it's breaking my heart, it's breaking my heart
