My Only Friend Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

Billie, you're a miracle and God knows, I need one 

Sing me something terrible that even dawn may come 

You and me, we don't believe in happy endings 

Hey, Lady Day, can you save my life this time? 

Can you cry so beautifully, you make my troubles rhyme? 

Hey, Lady Day, can you save my life again? 

My only love has gone away 

Will you be my only friend? 

Billie, you're a genius, enough to be a fool 

A fool to gamble everything and never know the rules 

Some of us can only live in songs of love and trouble 

Some of us can only live in bubbles
