My Friend

I heard your record on the telephone
It was my cousin, Joan
She picked it up and that's up 40 rack and thenI read your interview in Rolling Stone
You threw the boys a bone
And so I genuinely felt obliged to callI know you never meant to hurt us, man
We're just a baby band
You found a quicker way, to scale the wall of fameThe situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way, no way, 1, 2, 3, 4We know exactly where you are, and you're gone
(My friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
You've gone away
(My friend)We know exactly where you are, and you're gone
(My friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
You've gone astrayI saw your video on VH1
Looks like they spent a ton
How does it feel to be the flavor for a spellAnd I remember when you used to say
"Jesus is the way"
I never thought I'd see your light begin to fadeThe situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way, no way, 1, 2, 3, 4We know exactly where you are, and you're gone
(My friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
You've gone away, so long
(My friend)We know exactly where you are, and you're gone
(My friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
And you've gone astray, na, na, na, na, na, na, naDon't think we don't miss you
Think about you every day
We still love you anyway
'S Love don't go away
There's still this burning question
I got to know, why?What will people think when they
Hear that I'm a Jesus freak?Ah, ah, ah, hey
(While this is something of fantasy)
(The moral of the story is)
(To stick with your friends)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey
Ah, ah, ah, hey
Ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, 1, 2, 3, 4We know exactly where you are, and you're gone
(My friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
You've gone away, somehow
(My friend)We know exactly where you are, and you're gone
(My friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
And you've gone astray, so long
(My friend)Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone
(My friend)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
Oh, you've gone away
(My friend)Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone
(My friend)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
We'll see you someday
Wish you well
Na, na, na, na, na, my friend
