Dave'd called me up yesterday Everything he loved had moved away I felt despair come crawling through that phone I know the feeling but don't get me wrong Dave I've always thought that you were touched by fate It's never easy but why throw it away? Maybe you were both chasing this Flirt with death but never kiss her Dave Dave Dave Dave Oh, I keep dreaming, I'll set the scene So what's a fiver? Why so mean? The golden moment, the blinding gleam It's all over, that's too cheap Dave Dave Dave Dave And Dave I see you bleed I know you feel the squeeze But please, believe The view from on your knees deceives Keep going Dave Dave Dave I know you're empty, I know you're numb (Keep going, keep going) And you can't function, I know that you're drunk (Keep going, keep going) But Dave I've always felt that you were touched by fate The thing that gets me is the stupid waste So pick it up and don't put it down A newer story in another town I see you bleed I know you feel the squeeze Time heals, believe Then it will seem you dreamed these things long ago Dave Dave Dave (Keep going, keep going) Dave (Keep going, keep going) Dave (Keep going, keep going) Dave (Keep going, keep going) Dave (Keep going, keep going) Dave (Keep going, keep going) Dave (Keep going, keep going) Dave
