It was an April night and I was driving went out on the town
The show was at the palace
so we all went on down
We all had a bomb as I recall but now it seems absurd
As the madness raged upon the stage
he didn't say a word

He was a little weak 
and we all fear
It wasn't one of us
He didn't drink, 
he didn't smoke
And he didn't even curse
You'd see him now and then
With a bunch of men hanging around the sea
And I'm sure I would have liked him more
If he were a little more like me

It was a spring each day
The clouds were gray
Looked like in my dream
Thought about the night before
And I was so ashamed
When I heard what they had done to him
Stranger I had known
But as drunk as we all got last night
It's a wonder we got home

He was a little weak 
and we all fear
It wasn't one of us
He didn't drink, 
he didn't smoke
And he didn't even curse
You'd see him now and then
With a bunch of men hanging around the sea
And I'm sure I would have liked him more
If he were a little more like me

And I'm sure I would have liked him more
If he were a little more like me
