One leaves by his own hand
The next dies beneath the tires of a car
Another moves away
And one has her bones broken by her father
One by one they all disappear
They die, they leave, they commit suicide
They grow up and leave their old friends
Behind
One said we'd be friends until we died
Then why are we speaking to each other no longer?
Another goes away to a jail cell
And I never bother with visiting hours
One by one they all disappear
They die, they leave, they commit suicide
They grow up and leave their old friends
Behind
And now there's one, he's all alone
His friends they've died, they've grown, they've moved away
Left him alone in the garage with the engine revved
And soon there will be one no longer
