My Aching Friend

i don't want to be late
see it's a critical day
i gotta meet my aching friend

i know that he's at a loss
he thinks he hangs on a cross
i'm gonna see my aching friend

oh can't you see i need someone
that i can look after
to make me feel
that i'm not only wasting my time

call it a jesus complex
well i'm iust trying my best
to keep the wagon rolling on

you know i know you don't need
the kind of psycho striptease
that leaves you hanging on your family tree

oh can't you see i need someone
that i can look after
to make me feel
that i'm not only wasting my time

oh i'm feeling so high
like a kite in the sky
but i can't bury my head in the sand

i gotta land at his door
to feel my socks on the floor
i gotta see my aching friend

oh can't you see i need someone
that i can look after
to make me feel
that i'm not only wasting my time

i'm gonna take you out of that country
