New Friend

by Ortega Fuerte

/

lyrics

I've got a new friend,
Isn't quite as funny as my old friends,
Has a lot of money that he won't spend.
But he says there's a plan
That governs everything that we do.
Tells me to wait in the car;
Handles some things in a bar;
Says his mysterious ways
Are all in the service of faith and I know
That's right;
He prays in the dead of the night.

But I don't want to feel that I've gone wrong (so wrong)...

I've got a new friend,
Takes me to a meeting on a weekend,
Taught me how to think about the deep end,
And how it extends
Under everything we take to be true.
Takes me to dinner with three
People who happen to be
Leaders, though doll-like and strange,
And I know now that everything's changed but I
Can't walk out
For knowing what it's all about...

But I don't want to feel that I've gone wrong (so wrong)...

And I've been wrong so often, I should know--
It feels so insulting to be swayed by this show
I guess I really shouldn't bother with new friends anymore;
Maybe I'm better alone.
Maybe I'm better alone.
