it s like when you re making conversation and you re trying not to scream and you re trying not to tell em that you don t care what they mean and you re really feeling fragile and you really can t get home and you really feel abandoned but you want to be alone old friends they shine like diamonds old friends you can always call old friends lord you can t buy em you know it s old friends after all and when the house is empty and the light begins to fade and there s nothing to protect you except the window shade and it s hard to put your finger on the thing that scares you most and you can t tell the difference between an angel and a ghost old friends they shine like diamonds old friends you can always call old friends lord you can t buy em you know it s old friends after all
