Dangerous Companions

(Mick Kennedy)

The room is dark

 The music's gone

 I reach for the bottle again

 Drink on and on

 Such a dangerous companion

 And when the bottle's empty

 I'm empty too

 But the blessed stupour kills the pain

 Gets me through

 Such a dangerous companion

 Dangerous, dangerous companion

 Sometimes your friend Reno

 Talks to me

 Tempts me with the great escape

 Shows me the key

 Such a dangerous companion

 But I'm not angry now

 Maybe I should be

 No hope of rescue now

 But you comfort me

 You're such a dangerous companion

 Dangerous, dangerous companion

 When the mood is black

 And you sing to me

 You and your friend Reno

 One balanced on each knee

 You.re such dangerous companions

 But some day you'll let me down

 False friends do

 There must be another way

 To get through

 You're such dangerous companions

 Dangerous, dangerous companions

 You're such dangerous companions

 Dangerous, dangerous companions
