Quarterflash - Adios (The Funeral Song) lyrics

You would have laughed at things they said
It seems you're much more loveable
Now that you are dead
And if you were here you'd be half-plastered
Show up late and play the bastard
Leaving me to clean up after

Adios my red-eyed genius fucked up friend
We rocked the casbah back in god-knows-when
We thought those days would never end
You would have gagged at songs they played
You would have left to light up
When they stood and prayed
Your brother called you a 'soul who searched'
Well, maybe so, but not near church
I can't believe you knew these jerks

Adios my red-eyed genius fucked up friend
We rocked the casbah back in god-knows-when
We thought those days would never end

There were times I hated you - it's true
I never had the gifts
That you completely blew
But, I stayed faithful like the rest
I never questioned who was best
I'm glad we got that off our chest, so

Adios my red-eyed genius fucked up friend
We rocked the casbah back in god-knows-when
We thought those days would never end
