Bad Friends

I hear them goin out, I hear them coming in

They don't stick around too long

I hear them goin out, I hear them coming in

And what they do here isn't wrong

Pulled out of thin air

Trapped on paper

Filled in with the blues and green

They won't give you no trouble

They wanna be good

They wanna be strong and understood

When we are talking I'm trying to pay attention

But then the phone rings to remind me I need a drink

But like a call to arms or a call back home

You hear a sound that you've always known

Love is not a game that I should play

I think I'll try again some other day

I'm not too competitive that's for sure

There's other things that I want more

And I know how to get 'em

I get the feeling they think that

I can't hear them

But I can hear them loud and clear

I can't explain to you

Just what they said

But is sure sounds good in my head
