Asking For A Friend* Unknown Artist

[Refrain]
Sitting in the back of a police car
They are dropping him home from a fight
He's been drinking all night from the mystic stuff
He's always drinking till he sees the light
He's all ragged up and dirty and some blood on his shirt
There's some glitter on the side of his eye
Now the scars go deep from the stuff he was on
He's got a headache but he's feeling alright

[Chorus]
He was standing next to you, oh, baby
But you never thought you'd see him this way
And his love was really true, oh, baby
He was asking for a friend

[Post-Chorus]
Dirty as a dog but as cool as a cat
That's been hanging out with ladies all night
He's got a scar on his face and a name on his back
He's been keeping it out of his sight
He's got a 911 and a 203
Come on mama, why won't you rescue me?
He's not worrying at all, with a gun by his side
He's been carried around since the day that he died
