lyrics

I can’t stand standing next to you
I can’t conceive you could even consider.
Now what am I supposed to do
My heart wants to stay but I can not be with her

Sometimes we laugh and sometimes go
I’d ride the lightning but the lightning’s too slow.
Or could it be we were born this way
A flash in the pan I wonder if you’ll sta

Chorus
Sticks and stones will break your bones
But friends will not desert you
Sticks and stones will break your bones
But friends will never ever desert you

In the winter winds we have been trapped all along
Have you ever wondered why it taken so long!
Even steven take your time
Take off you jacket your a friend of mine.

Bridge
Though our thoughts may change
The heart inside remains
And in our dreams awake
The stars align and fade

I quit the Holy Ghost for something else.
I put the Bible back onto the shelf.
I learned a lesson but I lost my notes
I close my eyes for the Holy Ghost.

Friends they come
Friends they go
Friends they come
Friends they go
Friends they come
But they never ever let you go

Chorus

Sticks, sticks and stones
Sticks and stones, sticks and stones x 2
