Last night an old friend came knocking on my door I let him in, let him sleep on my floor He spoke to me in a voice I'd known long before Baking soda and tin foil to purify his score Sing the song now Yeah-ha Yeah Yeah-ha Yeah Last night d**h came swinging down from the moon Drinking Argentine wine with a black attitude Saying reality is the baggage, the airport is truth He asked for one cigarette, you gave him two And I try so hard just to get to you But I'm surrounded by midnight singing these two white boy blues I said you must leave take your mirror and your straw If you're too tired to walk, baby, you can always crawl In your desperate moments, in your bathroom stall Take your Andy Warhol, it's getting close to dawn Yeah-ha Yeah Yeah-ha Yeah Youth lost me running through the fields She caught me off guard, baby, she caught me by the heels A child of nature does not know how to feel We know what she bought but, baby, what did she steal? And I try so hard just to get to you
But I'm surrounded by midnight singing these two white boy blues I drove into Ca**ie With all my might In a van bound for Dakota at Christmas time I knew her in Havre, everything was fine By the time we hit Glasgow, baby we were in a fight Yeah-ha Yeah Yeah-ha Yeah Yesterday was Tuesday, Diana knows it so well From the trailer park to the ghetto to the wishing well We pray for our lady welfare, deliver us from Hell Jerk off the movie usher, sound the fire bell And I try so hard just to get to you But I'm surrounded by midnight singing these white boy blues Last night an old friend came knocking on my door He was dressed in ribbons from the Persian Gulf war He spoke to me in a voice I've known long before I said the man you once knew don't live here anymore I said the man you once knew don't live here anymore I said the man you once knew don't live here anymore [screaming] I said the man you once knew don't live here anymore
