lyrics

She was into Kierkegaard and I was sitting in her yard
And we were talking all about a leap of faith
She put on some Shostakovich but her humming was so out of pitch
Just like a piece of metal on a spinning lathe

I told her I’d always be her friend
She told me she’d love me ‘til the end

Frenemy, enemy
You’re a friend to me
‘Til you set me free
Don’t ever let me be

I told her that I studied Freud
But somehow I was unemployed
And that’s the reason that I started shooting dope
She told me that old Jean-Paul Sartre
Was like a piece of abstract art
A Marxist at the end of his philosopher’s rope

I told her I’d always be her friend
She told me she’d love me ‘til the end

Frenemy, enemy
You’re a friend to me
‘Til you set me free
Don’t ever let me be

She was prolific just like Sophocles
Comedic like Euripides
She kept me like a hobbit underneath her bed
She danced just like Baryshnikov
While holding a kalashnikov
She fed my habit to me
I was almost dead

And I told her I’d always be her friend
She told me she’d love me ‘til the end

Frenemy, enemy
You’re a friend to me
‘Til you set me free
Don’t ever let me be
