Snowblind Friend (Live)

I think everybody here tonight
Has lost some good friends with the passing years
Some were the friends who played the music we grew up with
Some went off to Vietnam, were never the same
Some with the kid that live next door

You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
Lying on the pavement with a misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall

He only had a dollar to live on 'til next Monday
But he spent it all on comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he's blind?

Someone should call his parents, a sister or a brother
And they'll come to take him back home on a bus
But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
Yeah, he'll always be another one of us

He said he wanted heaven, but prayin' was too slow
So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low?
Dyin' slow, flyin' low, mm

You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
Lying on the pavement with a misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall

He said he wanted heaven, but prayin' was too slow
So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low?
Dyin' slow, flyin' low, mm

Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low?
Dyin' slow, flyin' low
Blinded by snow
