| You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend, | |
| Lying on the pavement with a misery on his brain, | |
| Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall | |
| Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall? | |
| He only had a dollar to live on 'til next Monday, | |
| Thought he'd spend it all on comfort for his mind. | |
| You say you think he's blind? | |
| Someone should call his parents or a sister or a brother, | |
| And they'll come to take him back home on a bus. | |
| But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother, | |
| And he'll always be another one of us. | |
| He said he wanted heaven but praying was too slow, | |
| So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow. | |
| Did you say you saw your good friend flying low? | |
| Flying low ... dying slow ... | |

| Did you say you saw your good friend flying low, | |
| Dying slow, flying low? | |
| Did you say you saw your good friend flying low … | |
| Dying slow … | |
| Flying low … | |
| Blinded by snow? | |
