Vanity - Rarely If Ever / We're Friends Lyrics

1. Rarely If Ever

don't see what's around you - trickles down from up above

and repeat whatever sounds right

mend a broke defense, must be nice to walk that fence

and fall down safe on either side

don't look up or back, spare the lines that just don't track

and still always be next in line

cuz when yer in, yer in, another rigged fight there to win, don't have to try

and when will you ever think twice?

rarely if ever

voices that confound you talk in circles round yer head

and say things that don't sound quite right

but you don't listen to sense, just stay in the present tense

and take disagreement as slight

so keep riding for hacks, and keep all sense of doubt too lax

and just let that chasm grow wide

focus's now on you, it's all you've aspired to, is it unwise

now not to take the bigger slice?

2. We're Friends

we could talk for hours but the words still come in spurts

and if you saw you couldn't tell us apart

whatever we think, was thought by someone else

warmest blanket under which to lie

the good ain't really good and the bad don't really hurt

and if you saw you couldn't tell us apart

beats falling backwards with no one to pick back up

so we can both be down right from the start

whatever we think, was thought by someone else

warmest blanket under which to lie

we're friends so let's not let anything come between

our simple needs and bigger lies aside

don't always look good when we're seeing eye to eye

matters more who sees us from outside
