Somebody I Know Cold morning Acid dew - my tears of sorrow Another day to lose As long as we all understand You're number one, yeah you're the main man We fall on our knees in grateful prayer You tell me all your troubles, line by line You turn your back before I tell you mine I thought you were a friend, but you are just Somebody I know You leave your lover crying on the bed Another wretch is to the gallows led I thought you were a friend, but you are just Somebody I know Somebody I know Short summer Then cold like stone The flowers wilted, in the gutter thrown Im losing blood and feeling frail Cos Ive been sleeping on your bed of nails Your castle is falling round your ears We see you praying for your soul to save. A rotting body climbing from the grave I thought you were a friend, but you are just Somebody I know So now the hawk is circling above A callous butcher murdering the dove I thought you were a friend, but you are just Somebody I know Somebody I know The pretty maids all standing in a row One by one they're falling, blow by blow I thought you were a friend, but you are just Somebody I know You leave your lover crying on the bed Another wretch is to the gallows led I thought you were a friend, but you are just Somebody I know Somebody I know
