The sun set in the west this mornin'
4 I know, I know L.A. is callin'
Bad news, Steve said, and people are talkin'
They say your kingdom is fallin', yeah
They say U lost your fire
When another musician U hired
Little do they know, U wouldn't have passed go
Unless they could take U higher, yeah

The sun set in my heart this afternoon
4 2 friends of mine got stuck in the snow
In Uptown when winter's alarmin', oh
Cocaine becomes charmin'
But U talk about things U don't know 'bout
I know, no matter how pleasant your past was
Green and white return 2 blue
U're happy as long as your last buzz
And then U think U want something new, yeah

The sun, the sun set in my mind this evening
4 someone who said they would die 4 me
Sold some, they sold some more pictures and all my little memories
Chump change is 2 unravel the mystery, ah ha
But life is no fun, life ain't no fun without fantasy
Some things are better left unsaid
And some people are better left untrusted
Maybe, maybe, maybe it'll all make sense when I'm dead
When I'm dead

Old friends 4 sale
Get'em while the gettin' is hot
Watch out, they'll kiss U until they get what U got
And they'll show U the friends that they're not
Old friends 4 sale

Old Friends 4 Sale



The sun set in my heart this evenin'

Cuz an old friend of mine got lost in the jive

Little did she know, when U're stuck in the snow

Nobody gets out alive

Tears fall gently in my garden

As I wait in vain 4 my sweet baby 2 call

I guess what my own brother told me was true

He had been with my sweet baby and she never really loved me at all

Night fell so dark this evenin'

The moon wasn't shinin' nowhere

Sometimes that old light in the alley would light up this old heart of mine

But now I'm wonderin' if there's someone up there who really cares

The night fell darkest in Persia

What used 2 flow blue is now flowin' black

Many a doctor can try, but only heaven knows why

When it comes 2 love

Why do some men, why do some men turn their backs?

Can't somebody please tell me?

Maybe the morning air will make me feel better

Oh, I hope better than I feel right now

Last night a stranger took my picture and then he, uh...

He asked if I'd buy it, huh

I said I guess I don't know how

Old, old friends 4 sale

Get'em while the gettin' is hot

But U better watch out, they'll kiss U until they get what U got

And they'll show U the friends that they're not

Old friends 4 sale

Man, both versions are really deep.

I guess I never paid much attention to that song before.


Ouch! that's some pain.
