In a state of disrepair...

I've lurched from one thing to the next
with drunken keel, a bloody mess.

Although I have had many friends
most are far too kind and tend

Not to tell me when I let them down
nor even graze me with one frown.

Except for one, he knows me far too well
every little slip I make he will always tell

He knows just what it is that makes me tick
never hesitates to say "You make me sick!".

It's nice to have one friend I can let down
who can make me drown with just one frown.

I must admit that I'm quite amazed
that he picks me up, remains unfazed

And at my latest chemical daze
wears nothing but a reproving gaze.

It's fun to have a friend that I disgust
and I'm afraid to say that he is a must

I will admit that if he didn't care
and never graced me with that glare

That I would have given up so long ago
but as he says "Better the devil that you know..."

Well, to know that I'm that Devil,
it makes me smile
I'm not alone while
my oldest friend still finds me vile!

"They will plunder all your dreams
And take away your teddy bear... "
