These Are Your Friends

I wish that I’d arrived a little sooner —
You really should have called we’d have come here right away
You tried to help yourself but you got it wrong
You’ve thrown yourself
Into the flames 'cause you’re covered in cold
But these are your friends
They give out a nice warm glow
You’ve tried so hard to see for yourself
Your perspective is wrong
These are your friends
Let them come guide you on Listen now — now’s the time to listen
There’re lessons to be learned
I’ve seen this before in my own life
You feel covered up, removed from the world around you
With all your senses dulled you’d do anything to feel
You tried to help yourself, but you got it wrong
You’ve thrown yourself
Into the flames 'cause you’re covered in cold
But these are your friends
They give out a nice warm glow
What have you done? You’re cutting your cord
You’re floating in space
But these are your friends
They’ll be your star-map home
Everybody needs some help sometimes
