Masking for a Friend
from The Lockdown LP by Dave Bradley
lyrics
Well, there's no time for any questions
So, I'm asking for a friend
When did they find the time to hate?
To what point this bitter end?
Their bottom line makes me queasy
It's too easy to insist
On making plans for one's fellow man
Against which the good can't resist
Well, I don't know what this means but
I can see me falling through
Falling flat on my face, I mean
Can't you see it too?
Well, I don't know what this means but
I can see me falling through
Falling flat on my face, I mean
Can't you see it too?
So little time for any questions
And, I'm masking for a friend
Couldn't they make the time to love
Take us to a sweeter end
The autumn's fine, take it easy
It's simpler not to resist
Make mellow plans for the fruitful times
Find a pathway through the mist
Well, I don't know what this means but
I can see me pulling through
Not really losing face, I mean
Can't you feel it too?
Can't you feel it too?
So, I'm asking for a friend
When did they find the time to hate?
To what point this bitter end?
Their bottom line makes me queasy
It's too easy to insist
On making plans for one's fellow man
Against which the good can't resist
Well, I don't know what this means but
I can see me falling through
Falling flat on my face, I mean
Can't you see it too?
Well, I don't know what this means but
I can see me falling through
Falling flat on my face, I mean
Can't you see it too?
So little time for any questions
And, I'm masking for a friend
Couldn't they make the time to love
Take us to a sweeter end
The autumn's fine, take it easy
It's simpler not to resist
Make mellow plans for the fruitful times
Find a pathway through the mist
Well, I don't know what this means but
I can see me pulling through
Not really losing face, I mean
Can't you feel it too?
Can't you feel it too?
