What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
He's my friend but he's no friend to me
2
Ask him why, he'll tell you casually
3
Washed up, bitter, broken, busted
4
Backstabbed everyone he trusted
5
Says he sees what no one else can see
6
And if I had half his guts I'd want it
7
To chase that fatalistic comet
8
Die young in the dark; that's poetry
9
But it was not to be, it was not for me
10
He's always sad but I've never seen him cry
11
When he comes to, sure he'll apologize
12
Find his car, assess the damage
13
Still drunk but he likes the challenge
14
Hold on to his mind just like a kite
15
But a good strong win can keep you honest
16
Fill you with some common knowledge
17
Things when we were young we never tried
18
Just figured we had time with such a long life
19
Money clips, alligator shoes
20
One more dance, he's in that champagne room
21
She moves like a chocolate fountain
22
Pouring, spilling all around him
23
Makes him wonder what else she can do
24
How bittersweet is love's illusion
25
Feelings that cannot be proven
26
Trust me, you'll see, my aim is true
27
I've done this all for you, I've suffered long for you
28
So many times he's tried to play it straight
29
Worked and worked until his body ached
30
But a brand new life can lose its lustre
31
Troubles tend to find each other
32
Call it luck or you can call it fate
33
But either way it's how it happens
34
Not the way that you imagined
35
So just go out with a bang like Hemingway
36
Some will say you're brave
37
Some will say you ain't
