about

Love you, Steve. You are a brother and an inspiration, eternally.

lyrics

fair weather friend
forecast looks frightful
where have you been
are things looking up for you?
cold weather year
your words are delightful
long walk short pier
are you up for it?
there’s no room for fakes
so squeeze with a tight hold
until it breaks
and I can feel you no more

you’re a depressed ghost
a parasitic host, flabbergasted mostly
but how do you do it?
it’s magic, I’m sick, caustic pastiche
you’re only making fun
until you have to run
kill me with every one of your plastic guns
you play fight, damn right
mouse might, goodnight
I’ll just sleep it all off, and run to your trough
of bullshit that rots my brain and my mouth
and I hope you are better now

meaningless words
spoken so sweetly
flip-flop their meaning
and tell the truth for once
mixed up again
oh why can’t you treat me
with some sense of being
I don’t see the difference between you and I
see we’re the same
and that’s why you beat me
Brutus discreetly
what did you want me to think

are you safe?
is somebody holding you?
do you need
me to come over soon?
I’ll keep you warm
I’ll hold you close
in my arms
under a blanket
I’ll hold you close
under a blanket

fall in line just in time
don’t you know I love your sunshine
I love your sunshine.
I love your sunshine
I love your sunshine
