Friend of Mine...

Hey, where the hell are you
You don't call me back, John
Won't you come here and stay with me
Why don't you come here and stay with me

Show up here loaded with bells on your toes
I don't care what you're into
I'll put velvet ropes around you, if that's what you need

Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
Oh, you gotta get out and get back to me
John, you gotta get out and get back to me

Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
Oh, you gotta get out and get back to me
Take his limousine, you gotta get back to me

I'm getting nervous
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
No sign of a friend of mine
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Red hair and blue eyes

I'm getting nervous
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
No sign of a friend of mine

I was in a train under a river when I remembered what
What I wanted to tell you, man
What I wanted to tell you, man
I got two sets of headphones, I miss you like hell
Won't you come here and stay with me
Why don't you come here and stay with me

I'm getting nervous
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
No sign of a friend of mine
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Red hair and blue eyes

I'm getting nervous
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
No sign of a friend of mine
na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
Fake a heart attack, you gotta get back to me
Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
John, you gotta get out and get back to me

"Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon"


Nem sempre é verdade que as pessoas que são importantes p'ra nós também nos consideram importantes para elas.
Talvez algures em tempos longinquos tenhamos até tido alguma importância, mas um dia essa importância desvanece-se e passamos a valer 0(zero).
Um dia deixam de nos dar ouvidos e passam a dar ouvidos a outros/as (Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon).
E por mais que não queiramos ver esse dia chegar, é um dia tão fatal como a morte.


Mas por outro lado...
"Why did I listen to that man, that man's a balloon?????"
