lyrics

A Beautiful Friend (Music by Dan Frechette/Lyrics by Tania Elizabeth)

This town's been hard on you
you moved up from the ocean to follow your truth
you never felt like you belonged
Three years later and you've got a scene
full of wounded souls who take what they need
you give them more than a pretty song.

You've been watching for the one way prize
when you gaze into the ghost town eyes that you know
that you know
You're trying to find a beautiful friend
what's the point if you have to pretend
that you know
you know

(chorus)
No one kisses you when they're sober
You give and hoard and prey and whore yourself around this town
No one kisses you when they're sober
Wonder who is gonna love you when the sun goes down?

You're a different person all of the time
raising scandal with the partners in crime
getting high and lonely
Playing tunes just to make a little cash
saving up for a getaway stash.

He sweet talked you and gave you the eye
he said he'd call you with a casual goodbye
but you know
but you know
when the cabbie takes away your money
looks you up and down and calls you honey
you know
you know.

(chorus x2)

about

Dan Frechette California

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
