Don't pick a fight with lies and deception
Never walk on noises in your bare feet
Always keep your head above flooded waters
And farewell to friends better left at arm's reach
Farewell to friends better left at arm's reach
Written on a cardboard box
And lying on a bus stop seat
The message in those words
That were left for us All to read
Always have some money to get you out of trouble
Look both ways with the people you meet Always be honest,
truthful and loving
And farewell to friends better left at arm's reach
Farewell to friends better left at arm's reach
Ringing in my head
The words that author said
Written on a cardboard box And lying on a bus stop seat
And farewell to friends better left at arm's reach
Don't make decisions when you've been
drinking Take time out for the ones you teach
Always be there for the ones that really matter
Farewell to friends better left at arm's reach
Farewell to friends better left at arm's reach
Ringing in my head The words that author said
Written on a cardboard box
And lying on a bus stop seat
And farewell to friends better left at arm's reach
And farewell to friends better left at arm's reach
