He's got a thing about losing control Carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go And he brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile A friend indeed but what I need's someone who'll stay a while Someone to stay a while You can bend my ear We can talk all day Just make sure that I'm near When you've really got something to say He drops hints but he won't tell you what's really on his mind But I know if I look that it's easy to find And he's got a way with his anger and the way he lets it show Like the smoldering smoke when the fire's left the coals When the fire has left the coals [Chorus] You can take me down To show me your home Not the place where you live But the place where you belong You can bend my ear We can talk all day Just make sure I'm (you're) around When you've finally got something to say And what are you meaning by "I don't deserve this life?" His door is always open and he's always got the time To give a little something even though he gets behind And your trips become his and your lives are entwined But like the horse with the junkie it's all in your mind It's all in your mind
