Beware Your Only Friend - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

I want to be your only friend

(is that scary?)

My active mind don’t wish it so

Watch out for these silent thoughts

That’s where the seed of soul-sucking grows

When each who comes around you

Takes some of your life

That’s when I get angry

An outfit for my fright

You want to be my daughter

(come sit up on me)

I hate it, but it’s so

And I wanted you as my mother

Cheering me as I go

When each who comes around you

Takes some of your life

That’s when I get angry

An outfit for my fright

Picture us lounging just sitting and listening

And loving what we hear

That has never happened

We both flail too much

We flail too much to let the other near

I want to be your only friend

(beware of me)

My quiet mind is not fit to lead

Take the warning I’ve seen fit to lend

And from this thing we have been freed
