My Unusual Friend - Fruit Bats

Back when I was first on my own

Before I had me a love before playing in a band

At the tender age

Not old enough to drink but the best age to get drunk

You were all in the world that I had

Just me and my unusual friend

Playing songs to the magic box

'Til through holes in the old rotten roof snowed the cold light of morning

Back when you, substitute for girls

Surrogate for good and the passer of the time

In the aching dehydrated dawn

With my bruised up heart on the mend

And I’d hold you in my had

Yeah I’ll miss you my unusual friend

I knew that if you stuck around

One weird warm night you’d sneak in my room and kill me

And then float out my lungs on a breeze

But I’ll miss you my unusual friend

'Cause you were all in the world that I had

Yeah I’ll miss you my unusual friend
