Some were childhood friends,

and too damn many of them were [A] snowbound friends.

[D] [A] You say it was [D] this morning [A] when you last saw your [B] good friend
[D] Lying on the pavement with the misery on [E] his brain
[A] Stoned on some [D] new potion [A] he found upon [B] the wall
[D] Of some unholy bathroom in [E] some ungodly hall
[A] He only [D] had a dollar to live on till next [A] Monday
[D] But he spent it all on comfort for his [E] mind
[D] Did you say you think [A] he's blind?
[D]
[A] Someone should call his [D] parents,
[A] his sister [B] or brother
[A] [D] They'll come to take him back home [E] on a bus
[A] But he'll always be a [D] problem
[A] His poor,
[B] puzzled mother
Yeah, [D] he'll always be another one of [E] us
[A] He said he wanted [D] heaven, but praying was [A] too slow
[D] So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made [E] of snow
