Joan Osborne - Strenuous Acquaintances Lyrics
Strenuous AcquaintancesWritten by Joan OsborneFrom Mr. Wrong SoundtrackI take my baby to the cornfieldI lay him down between the rowsI ask him if he really loves meHe tells me only heaven knowsIf I owned a TV stationThis is the message I would send:A hundred strenuous acquaintances can't meet the loss of one true friendGive me his old Montana jacketHis favorite shirt is PanamaAnd I can tell you where he's buriedTell you the last thing that he saw, saw...I am the keeper of your *****There is so much that you don't knowYou're gonna drown in your own bathtubYou're gonna miss me when I goIf I owned that big transmitterThis is the message I would send:A hundred strenuous acquaintances can't meet the loss of one true friendAnd on the mornings after partiesI pick the bottles from the floorI open every single windowI cough until my ribs are soreCallin' out to all you vampires,"I got molasses in my veins!I think it's time I should be leavin'And you can fight for my remains!"For every word on every paperFor every dollar you will spendA strenuous acquaintances can't meet the loss of one true friendThe loss of one true friend
