In my tortured mind, It happens all the time It's not too encouraging, You never prayed for anything. What makes you so great? Something I would indicate? I may withstand the strongest Can't help their similarities… [Doesn't seem at all to hear] Is it fair now? Does it matter?… [Backwards through another year] And come down, too To tell me what to do! I make no claim on your design, I will not call you a friend of mine! I cannot follow your disguise, I will not! I will not! Not sure what you say Makes any difference anyways Tell me what you mean With any hope of coming clean It's bit too late to you now But I appreciate The never-ending signals We've had days like this before I make no claim on your design, I will not call you a friend of mine! I cannot follow your disguise, I will not! I will not! I make no claim on your design, I will not call you a friend of mine! I cannot follow your disguise, I will not! I will not! I will not call you a friend of mine, I will not call you a friend of mine, I will not call you a friend of mine, I will not! I will not!
