[Refrain]
Sitting in the back of a Polish 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 a spot on his shirt
There's some glitter on the side of his eye
Now the stars go deep on the stuff he was on
He's got a headache but he's feeling alright

[Chorus]
He was standing next to you, all that day
But you never thought you'd see him this way
And his love was your truth, 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 mom, why won't you rescue me?
He's not worrying at all, with a cat by his side
He's been carried around since the day that he died
[Chorus]
He was standing next to you, all that day
But you never thought you'd see him this way
And his love was your truth, oh baby
He was asking for a friend

[Instrumental Bridge]
