Snowblind Friend - Hoyt Axton/The Steppenwolf/Johnny Darrell

  
 
Snowblind Friend
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
Did you say, you think he's blind

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
So he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say, you saw your good friend flyin' low 

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

Did you say, you saw your good friend flyin' low
Dyin' slow, blinded by snow
