So Many Friends

And the children's eyes they turn as I walk away
I am becoming their prey

And the firelight it burns in your eyes
There are times you despise me
Or you criticize me

I have lost so many friends
And I have gained so many memories
I can change the colours of the night
But the hum and the drum they stay the same
When you're tapping the same vein

I have noticed lately that the time that you took
To look at my face is gone without a trace
Oh you despise me

I have lost so many friends
And I have gained so many memories
And I have lost so many friends
And I have gained so many enemies

Over the years things disappear
But once in awhile you call my name
In you you've got the loving touch
I live and breathe for the rush
When we touch there's a rush
Oh when we touch

I have lost so many friends
And I have gained so many memories
And I have lost so many friends
And I have gained so many enemies
