He's great, but tough to be around, you know?

lyrics

My best friend is a musical guy
He sings everywhere that he goes
He sings:

My best friend is a cynical guy
He finds very little joy in life
He lives in the dark, he doesn't think with his heart
He spends all of his time inside

He hangs around like the smell after rain
My other friends wish that he would go away

My best friend is very witty and dry
He's cracking jokes whenever he's around
But when you get him alone he says he's coming undone
He doesn't feel safe any more

My best friend is one helluva guy
He lights up lives every day

He's always there in the corner of my eye
He never has fun so I wonder why

The smoky flavour; lapsang souchong
Left to steep for 4 minutes
Accompanied by a cloud of vapour
Rose scented, thick, billowing disguise
As though perhaps he can't bring himself to look me in the eyes

My best friend is uncertain in life
He doesn't really know what he wants
He fails to keep plans but when it comes to demands
He takes up almost all of my time

My best friend is one helluva guy
He lights up lives every day
It might take a while but if you coax out a smile
You know that you'll be seeing him again

He comes and goes like a back alley cat
I put so much in but I don't get it back

My best friend
My best friend
My best friend

He's got a real talent for making me feel small
I wonder why he's my friend at all
