Fast Friends

Righteousness is its own reward
 Solitude is what I shoot for
 What good's behind me now
 It doesn't count
 ♪
 Butterflies and the hangers on
 Come by my house, see the lights on
 They want to have their say
 At my front gate
 Well I don't know what to tell you man
 It has really been too long
 Whatever I had to give away
 Whatever I had to give away
 Is gone
 ♪
 A broken heart is a natural death
 But to never love, that is tragic
 And the far worse of the two
 I can assure you
 ♪
 It's never hard to make a fast friend
 Someone to dance till the song ends
 The trick is getting loose
 Once they got you
 Well I don't know what to tell you kid
 Though it really is too bad
 All that I tried to push away
 All that I tried to push away
 Came back
 ♪
 All that crowded loneliness made for a long day
 All that crowded loneliness gave me a long face
 Everywhere I go I think I went the wrong way
 All that crowded loneliness made for a long day
