If You Need A Friend

None of the people I know seem
To be sleeping well at night
Everyone's diagnosed with some kind
Of nervousness or fright
Where did the peaceful dreams
Of our childhood go?
None of the people I know seem
To be living their own lives
Everyone's under control
Trapped in a cubicle to die
Where did the glory dreams
Of our childhood go?
You know you sound crazy when
You're screaming til you're bleedin'
And it may sound like it's not true
I've done that to believe it
And if you should need it
If you need a friend
Don't be afraid to call me up again
Up again, up again, up again, up again
Part of the gardner estate
Was a concert made of paint
Ours to behold we were told
Ten million times it weight in gold
Out her museum one night concert did go
I had a painting I loved
Red graffiti on black gloss
It was lost in the travels we made
Back in our homes we should have stayed
Up on the internet auctioning block it did go
I know it sounds crazy
But these colours make our feelings
When these things are stolen, it
Is worse than crime, it's killing
And if God is willing
When you need a friend
You won't have anyone to call you up again
Up again, up again, up again up again
It's the middle of the night
And everythings alright
I'll go to bed alone again
Yeah everythings alright, but the
Dim street light
Is flooding in the room again
And empty spaces that are next to me are
A little freer than I care to be
It's still the middle of the night
Yeah everythings alright
I'll go to bed alone again
It's free, a little freerer than I care to be
If you need a friend
Don't be afraid to call me up again
If you need a friend
Don't be afraid to call me up again
If you need a friend
Don't be afraid to call me up again
If you need a friend, don't be
Afraid to call me up again, up again
If you need a friend
Don't be afraid to call me up again
If you need a friend
Don't be afraid to call me up again
If you need a friend, don't be
Afraid to call me up again, up again
If you need a friend
Don't be afraid to call me up again
If you need a friend, don't be
Afraid to call me up again, up again
If you need a friend
Don't be afraid to call me up again
If you need a friend
Don't be afraid to call me up again
If you need a friend, don't be afraid to
Call me up again, up again, up again
Up again
