Pansy Waltz

Well he's out of season, out of sync
 Oh lord, what must his family think?
 And you must be getting his feathers wet
 Plus he always seems to be the talk
 Until she drops you like a rock
 Well you should've been a better friend to him
 Well I dusted all the bones out in my yard
 I fixed the screen door, raised the barn
 But still you call me from the moon
 Every single afternoon
 Tell me all about the astronauts you've come to love
 And how the earth looks from above
 And how I should've been a better friend to you
 But I've never seen life as a chore
 A treasure for a find
 I've read the news, abused the booze
 And often wondered why
 My smile remains the thinking pains
 The average passerby
 Oh they'll sink like stones into their homes
 Away from teeth like mine
 Yes, so I came to hate my skin
 And all the holes you'd hidden in
 The way you let my legs walk slow weeks away
 I wish I -
 Well, you should've been a better friend of mine
 Well I saw in you a brand new bird
 The song of which I'd never heard
 Oh, a melody so fine
 That whole world would whine
 And it's a tune to give the boys the blues
 And turn the horses into glue
 You know, I should've been a better friend to you
 Yeah, I should've been a better friend to you
 Well, I've never seen life as a chore
 Or a treasure for to find
 I've read the news, abused the booze
 And often wondered why
 Oh my smile remains the thinking pains
 The average passerby
 They'll sink like stones into their homes
 Away from teeth like mine
 Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
 Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
