Absent Minded Friends

Moloko · Other Songs - Moloko

Well itÂ’s a silly thing
That IÂ’ve been wondering

Shall we drink a toast to absent minded friends
To all who turn to corner
To those who went round the bend
Everybody raise your glasses
Drinking and drown
Melancholy for the masses
Love come down

Well itÂ’s a silly thing
That IÂ’ve been wondering

Maybe youÂ’ll never bridge the gulf
Baby youÂ’re just too sensitive
Are you numb enough
Can we ever feel this impending void
Have we become what we intended to avoid

Have you ever smiled for too long
Till youÂ’re aching
Have you ever laughed till you cried
Till your heart is breaking
Have you ever smiled for too long
Till your aching
Have you ever laughed until your heart was breaking

(well itÂ’s a silly thing that IÂ’ve been wondering)

Love is always riddled with selfishness
Few will find joy in theirs big success
From the sublime to the ridiculous in the blink of an eye
Funny all too funny youÂ’re funny little guy

If itÂ’s too much to feel
Come this way my friend
Try to keep it unreal
Feels good to let yourself descend
No pretend we can transcend our everyday existences
No distances
How did we come undone
Became what weÂ’ve become

Have you ever smiled for too long till youÂ’re aching
Have you ever laughed till you cried till your heart is breaking
Have you ever smiled for too long till youÂ’re aching
Have you ever laughed until your heart is breaking

(how did we dome undone become what weÂ’ve become)

Have you ever smiled for too long till your aching
Have you ever laughed till you cried till your heart was breaking

(how did we come undone became what weÂ’ve become)

Have you ever smiled for too long
Have you ever laughed until your heart was breaking

(how did we come undone become what weÂ’ve become) (x2)
