My So-Called Friends

There's a place by the river in the
back of my mind
Daddy you showed me but back then
I was blind
Just give me directions I promise I'll
go
Please let me see 'cos I'm too young
to know
Let me see 'cos I'm too young to know

I found what I searched for a
warm august night
In a dream in a desert I was
high as a kite
When I finally learned how to
manage my states
I poured out my heart on the
buffalo tapes
on those beautiful buffalo tapes

So give me one if by land
Give me two if by sea
give me three if my cool friends
are asking for me
Tell them I have gone riding
and that no one knows were
'Cos daddy they hate me when I am
not there
Oh they hate me when I am not there

Oh the tip of my pen has run
totally dry
From hundreds of letters to you
asking why
They sent invitations they hated
my stay
They're shooting my wings while
I'm flying away
They're shooting my wings away

Now I'm so happy that I've
broken free
Daddy is it all that I hope it
will be
Will het rain make my river
grow into a flow
Please let me see 'cos I'm too
young to know
Let me see 'cos I'm too young to
know...
