lyrics

You fall into a state of grace
You don’t know who
Or where you’ve been
The ground reached up
To kiss your face
Best friend
You’ve had all evening

Alcohol
It’s just a friend of mine

It cuts me right to the bone
Cuts to the quick
Yet lovely numb
My worries fall to the floor
I’ll join them
When there’s no more

Alcohol
It’s just a friend of mine

Sometimes you fall to your knees
As if a saint’s ecstasy
And then the fog
It rolls in
And you’re lost once again

We stumble…maybe we fall
We don’t care
If we get home at all
I got my friends
To see me through
To kick my ass
Right out of blue

Alcohol
It’s just a friend of mine

Prayers just don’t reach
The proper ears
Too much religion’s
Based on fear
I’ll build a temple of glass
To shore me up
Against the past

Alcohol
It’s just a friend of mine

Sometimes
You fall to your knees
As if a saint’s ecstasy
And then the fog
It rolls in
And you’re lost once again

Alcohol
It’s just a friend of mine
