The litebrite's now black and white
m m
Cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right
m
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
m
The only maker that you'd want to meet
m
The dying man in a living room
m m
Whose shadow paces the floor
m
He'll take you out any open door
m
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
m
It's not what I'm like
m
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
m
Who couldn't get things right
m
A fond farewell to a friend
m
He said really I just wanna dance
m m
Good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance
m
I can deal with some psychic pain
m
If it'll slow down my higher brain
m
Veins full of disappearing ink
m m
Vomiting in the kitchen sink
m
Disconnecting from the missing link
m
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
m
It's not what I'm like
m
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
m
Who couldn't get things right
m
A fond farewell to a friend
m
I see you're leaving me
m m
And taking up with the enemy
m
The cold comfort of the in between
m
A little less than a human being
m
A little less than a happy high
m m
A little less than a suicide
m
The only things that you really tried
m
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
m
It's not what I'm like
m
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
m
Who couldn't get things right
m
A fond farewell to a friend
m
This is not my life
m
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
