Name: Had A Friend
Duration: P00H02M00S
Description: Totally goofy song that was tacked on at the last minute to replace another song we thought kinda sucked, haha. This one, while mostly playing with words, was catchier and more fun overall. It is still about something; the circular nature of beginnings and ends of relationships and how one stems from the other.

lyrics

HAD A FRIEND
'TIL SOMEONE DUG A TRENCH THROUGH HER HEAD
I HAD A FRIEND
'TIL THE JUMPROPE BROKE AND I COULDN'T MEND
NO TIME TO SAY
I CHALLENGE YOU TO DUEL AT HIGH NOON
NO TIME TO SAY
I WAS GIVING YOU THE MOON REAL SOON

I HATE TO LEAVE
BECAUSE YOUR CAR SMELLS LIKE YOUR HAIR
I HATE TO LEAVE
BECAUSE YOUR JEANS SMELL LIKE YOUR UNDERWEAR

HAD A FRIEND
NOW I'LL HAVE TO FIND A NEW ONE AGAIN
I HAD A FRIEND
AND THIS IS THE BEGINNING TO THE END
