BEST FRIEND OF MY LIFE

from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

/

about

Something about the Stand By Me time in yr life when every second is so fucking real, and every true connection hits ya like an arrow in the solar plexus. I know, the vocal is wicked distorted, but I liked the first take so kept it as is. Like the gospel urgency of the tune.

lyrics

BEST FRIEND OF MY LIFE

123456

screen door bangin
old man's drinkin
2 dogs barkin
in the yard

a baseball
hits a glove
real hard

if yr lucky
you can count on jes 6 fingers
all yll ever need
you r the best friend of my life
you r

flannel pajamas
n pick up sticks
a tree house n
a nose t pick

a lollipop
a torn pocket
you can't fix it
maybe i can

if yr lucky…

dirty knees n dirty pictures
sneakin out n burnin' bridges

2 boys runnin
under stars
a sputnik
like a scalpel
cuts a scar

if yr lucky…

a popsicle
with a lazy drip
a river flood
no boats can fit
a stolen kiss
a finger tip
i shut my eyes
wr young again

cut my finger taste my blood
kid like you's a kingdom come

yr hairs on fire
yr ears they catch
the sun
t-shirt
touch my leg
like a (toy) gun

if yr lucky…

i feel young again
