Once a friend told me of his experience,

That he had loved somebody and in pain,

He had slit his arm and sent the blood to her

And that he was glad that it was over.



He had talked and made love like an expert,

But I had never seen his soul.

And his eyes had a sort of dead smile

As if he wanted me to believe

That he was still alive.



He was a winter friend to me,

We walked in the snow to chinatown for noodles.



That was many years ago, in another life,

Why do I remember it now?

When Id heard his story, Id heard it like a car accident

That I would never be in myself



He was a winter friend to me,

We walked in the snow to chinatown to noodle.



La la la la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la dee la dee la da

Dee la la la



Now that I see my car slipping down the cliff

And Im desperately looking for the brake...

Dont let it happen to me,

Please, dont let it happen to me,

Im not ready to die or live a living death,

Im not ready to die or live a living death,

Im not ready to die...
