"Estranged Friends" lyrics - EELS

You're givin' up too much
You're going off the plot
If you need to hear I'm sorry
Will you still believe I'm not?

I don't want you to add me
To your long list of estranged friends
You're pushin' through the limit
And I may not be here for you again

I think you oughta know by now
That I do believe in you
There's really no good reason why
It all has to be through

I don't want you to add me
To your long list of estranged friends
You're pushin' through the limit
And I may not be here for you again

You're hidin' in the basement
You're hidin' in the dust
Your heart is full of venom
And your veins are full of rust

If I told you what it's like out here
Could you take me at my word?
The sun is shinin', the birds are singin' soft
Or haven't you heard?

I don't want you to add me
To your long list of estranged friends
You're pushin' through the limit
And I may not be here for you again

I don't want you to add me
To your long list of estranged friends
