You're all decked out in your leather and chains
Another morning chasing down the train
You travel north by northwest, tell me I can't guess
Why you'd get so lost in someone you just met
In the back of the silent car.

We miss our friend, we miss our friend
When you're here you're always half past gone
We heard you laughing with the maker
At the mark, cause you miss you missed the mark.
We miss our friend, we miss our friend
When you're here you're always half past gone.
We know you're wrapping
Your bony fingers around the locks.

Who's gonna take your dog out for a walk
And pick up after your friends passed out in the park
Not me, no not me the world has got me worried
Much to worried now
About how the world looks after dark.

We miss our friend, we miss our friend
When you're here you're always half past gone
We heard you laughing with the maker
At the mark, cause you miss you missed the mark.
We miss our friend, we miss our friend
When you're here you're always half past gone.
We know you're wrapping
Your bony fingers around the locks.

If you were here, we'd shave our heads and paint them green
And ride a tandem bicycle through the crowded city streets
But great minds drink alone, great minds drink alone
I heard that great minds drink alone, only great minds drink alone.

Wish you'd come out from that four foot crawlspace
Wish you'd come out and meet us for that drink
You are the sugar cube in my absinthe
You are the dirty dollar jammed in the juke box machine.

We miss our friend, we miss our friend
When you're here you're always half past gone
We heard you laughing with the maker
At the mark, cause you missed you missed the mark.
