Name that Tune

"You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend

Lyin' 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"

I'll give it to noon tomorrow.

I think I know this one - can think of the writer and the tune, but the title hasn't come to me yet. Think, bowtwi, think!

You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend

Lyin' 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

But he spent it on some comfort for his mind

...

Someone should call his parents, 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

Yeah he'll always be another one of us

He said he wanted Heaven but prayin' was too slow

...

OK, It was never a big chart buster.

It was, however, a very memorable tune, that has gotten lots of airplay over the years.

I love that song but I could never make out all the lyrics.

I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky

For I know that the hypnotized never lie

I thought I was going crazy here looking over those lyrics soul searcher.

Wont Get Fooled Again.... Again is the same song over on the songs remembered from one line thread too. :o

Turn your back on me baby

Turn your back on me baby.

Yes, don't turn your back on me baby

Stop messin' around with your tricks
