Continental Drift Cowboy Junkies

Here's the story of a dying man
Told by a friend of mine
He said that he heard it from a friend of his
Who was a real close friend one time
One night, he chose to choke his wife
Until the light that was there turned cold
He'd heard some stories 'bout her
From a friend of a friend, I'm told

Why do you say "no"
When what you mean is "yes"?
Why do you say "never mind"
When it's obvious that you do?
Yeah, I love you too
When it's obvious, obvious that you do
Yeah, I love you too

Let's hang around and watch
This good man lose his goodness
And leave a trail of misery behind
Obvious that you do
Yeah, I love you too
Obvious that you do
Yeah yeah yeah
