Leng got a pain in his vein And that means it looks like rain
And there ain't no sunshine For a very close friend of mine
For a very close friend of mine
There's a man way across town If Leng is lucky he can run him down
For him to screw him blind Running numbers on a friend of mine
Running numbers on a friend of mine
In a poison paint cheap room He plays solitaire with doom
And I pray that he don't go blind He's a very close friend of mine
He's a very close friend of mine
Da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Leng's been doing it for years
Hiding from his fears And you see that he's to blame
And I see we're all to blame And I see we're all to blame
And there just ain't no pain After racing with your vane
On the devil's freeway He died yesterday
And there ain't no sunshine For a very close friend of mine
For a very close friend of mine
For a very close friend of mine
For a very close friend of mine
