"Tragicomic Friend" by Robert B. Turk


Chord Progression:
E--G--F--E
E--G#--E--G#--E--G#--F#--G--F--E


You sit in the dark at three am
Drinking Kundalini Wine and sighing
smoking cigarettes and philosophizing
with a puppet hanging on a telephone line...

It's your Tragicomic Friend
your Tragicomic Friend
She'll always be your Tragicomic Friend
She'll be there in the end
to scar your tombstone with her pen
and play trombone over your head
your Tragicomic Friend...

Your mystery hairshirt you left outside
in the storming rainsoaked wooden broadside
the hulking mass that forced you inside
and destroyed the neighbors' piles of herbicide...

It's your Tragicomic Friend,
your Tragicomic Friend,
He'll always be your Tragicomic Friend,
Turning your breakfast into moldy bread,
and discarding your privacy and your fences,
to the pursuant throngs of anxious villians...
your Tragicomic Friend
your Tragicomic Friend
He'll always be there in the end.

The dark hour falls and finds you weeping
upon the floor that She was sweeping
your memories fall down and down and down the cracks
between the slats of her words and her hatred creeping

It's your Tragicomic Friend
your Tragicomic Friend
They'll always be there in the end,
Pushing and pulling and hardly Zen,
your Tragicomic Friend
Foaming and fighting and full of yen
your Tragicomic Friend
Pulling and pushing upon your head
your Tragicomic Friend
Making love in spite of the anger
your Tragicomic Friend
Breaking up in spite of the danger
your Tragicomic Friend
Facing them down as if they're a stranger
your Tragicomic Friend
your Tragicomic Friend
your Tragicomic Friend.

You sit up in bed at three am
have another cigarette and sigh
The telephone rings, a voice philosophizing,
the voice on the line is jerking and crying...

your Tragicomic Friend
your Tragicomic Friend
your Tragicomic Friend.
