"Friends" lyrics

Say, little burning bush
Out in the desert
Bright little burning bush:
Somebody might want to put out that fire
But, honey, here's not where to look

I'll honor you when you're dead
But, baby, right on up until then
You ain't my friend

Out with the knights of hindsight
Telling me I'm right for what I did
When you kicked me down into the street
So I stuck that knife right through your ribs

I'll visit you when you're dead
But, darling, right up until the end
You ain't my friend

Are you all right?
I run to them and ask
Are you all right
And they said you were crying
I bolt upright
There in my bed
And gasp, and hit the lights
Because I dreamt you were dying
And that the satellites were spitting static gunk
I said, "I want to see my friend, how he was
And to tell the question that's on my tongue
And get drunk, drunk, drunk
Until I can't hardly stand upright
Tonight."

It wouldn't be the first time, sweetie
(And it wouldn't be the third)
When you needed me and I turned my back
Or when I dumbly took you at your word

One day, I'll hear your final curtain swish
And I'll be crying as they lower you in
Until then, you ain't my friend

They say forget
And they say forgive
I call bullshit
I say: I wish
I wish you were my friend
