Texty: Moloko. Absent Minded Friends.

Well, it's a silly thing
That I've been wondering
Shall we drink a toast to
Absent minded friends
To all who turn the corner and
To those who went round the bend

Everybody raise your glasses
Drink and drown
Melancholy for the masses
Love come down

Well, it's a silly thing
That I've been wondering
Maybe you will never
Bridge the gulf
Baby, you are 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 you're aching
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Have you ever laughed until your heart is breaking?
Well, it's a silly thing that I've been wondering

Love is always riddled with
Selfishness
Few will find joy in their
Big success

From the sublime to the ridiculous in the
Blink of an eye
Funny all too funny
You're a funny guy

If it's too much to feel
Come this way my friend
Try to keep it unreal
Feels good to let yourself descend to pretend

We can transcend our everyday existences
No distances
How did we come undone?
Became what we've become

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Have you ever laughed until your heart is breaking?
How did we come undone?

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Became what we've become
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking
How did we come undone?

Have you ever smiled for too long?
Became what we've become
Have you ever laughed until your heart is breaking?
How did we come undone?

Became what we've become
How did we come undone?
Became what we've become
