Jimi Hendrix - My Friend Lyrics
Hey, look out for my glass up there, man!Thats my drink, man, thats my drink, alright...Make it a double, or eh...Somebody has to singSome body will sing?Somebody will sing, right?(I dont know!)Yall pass me that bottle,And Ill sing you all a real songYeah!Let me get my key, ahum!Well, Im looking through harlemMy stomach squeal just a little moreA stagecouch full of feathers and footprints,Pulls up to soap¨box doorNow a lady with a pearl¨handled necktieTied to the drivers fenceBreathes in my face,Bourbon and coke possessed words& quot;havent I seen you somewhere in hell,Or was it just an accident?(you know how I felt then, and so:)Before I could ask was it the east or west side?My feet they howled in painThe wheels of a bandwagon cut very deep,But not as deep in my mind as the rainAnd as they pulled away I could see her wordsStagger and fall on my muddy tentWell I picked them up, brushed them off,To see what they say,And you wouldnt believe:`come around to my room, with the tooth in the middle,And bring along the bottle and a presidentAnd eh sometimes its not so easy, babyEspecially when your only friend,Talks, sees, looks and feels like you,And you do just the same as him(gets very lonely up this road, baby)(yeah, hmmm, yeah)(got more to say!)Well Im riding through la (huh),On a bicycle built for foolsAnd I seen one of my old buddiesAnd he say, you dont look the way you usually doI say, well, some people look like a coin-boxHe say, look like you aint got no coins to spareAnd I laid back and I thought to myself, and I said this:I just picked up my pride from underneath the pay phone,And combed this breath right out of my hairAnd sometimes its not so easyEspecially when your only friendTalk, sees, looks and feels like you,And you do just the same as himJust got out of a scandinavian jail,And Im on my way straight home to youBut I feel so dizzy I take a quick look in the mirror,To make sure my friends here with me tooAnd you know good well I dont drink coffee,So you fill my cup full of sandAnd the frozen tea leaves on the bottomSharing lipstick around the broken edgeAnd my coat that you let your dog lay by the fire onAnd your cat he attacked me from his pill¨box ledgeAnd I thought you were my friend tooMan, my shadow comes in line before youIm finding out that its eh not so easySpecially when your only friendTalks, looks, sees and feels like you,And you do the same just like him(lord its so lonely here, hmmm, yeah)Yeah!(pass me that bottle over there...)Yeah, yeah, okay...
