I like to sit
Do nothing at home
I disappear, turn off the phone
I lose myself
Hide from the sun
I make a trip, when I'm out of fun
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, and you ain't leavin' at all
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-time friend
I call you up
Whenever I'm stoned
We chew the skin, choke on the bones
You wonder when
I'll go away
If I could deal with it, I would have stayed
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, and you ain't leavin' at all
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-time friend
I like to sit
Do nothing at home
I disappear, turn off the phone
I lose myself
Hide from the sun
I make a trip, when I'm out of fun
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, and you ain't leavin' at all
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-time friend
I cut you in
I cut you in
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-time friend
Do nothing at home
I disappear, turn off the phone
I lose myself
Hide from the sun
I make a trip, when I'm out of fun
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, and you ain't leavin' at all
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-time friend
I call you up
Whenever I'm stoned
We chew the skin, choke on the bones
You wonder when
I'll go away
If I could deal with it, I would have stayed
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, and you ain't leavin' at all
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-time friend
I like to sit
Do nothing at home
I disappear, turn off the phone
I lose myself
Hide from the sun
I make a trip, when I'm out of fun
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, and you ain't leavin' at all
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-time friend
I cut you in
I cut you in
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-time friend

As for the Alice being a close group. There were and still are today. They had arguments, there was some things published which may or may not be true about their relationship in the final days of Layne's life. But you must remember the fights and arguments came from the substance abuse. They all were guilty. The drugs made them do and say different things. Jerry, although, he does not just come out and blab about it, has said numerous times that it his use really changed him. As he gets clean, he really realizes how he was a completely different person when he was using. That is why he has nothing but love for Layne still, he has walked in those shoes for years. Times were great, times were bad, but the bad times were synthetic. If Layne was alive today and clean, I have no doubt that they would be playing together again.
i still like to think Layne played a part in this song anyways, maybe from the angle that Jerry would call Layne up when he was high. I'm wondering who his "part time friend" was. i don't think it was his dealer, as he calls him up once he's already using.
Although, maybe its not about drugs whatsoever also, and just about Jerry's reclusiveness, which is something else he's known for. he only mentions drugs twice here, after all "I make a trip, when I'm out of fun" and "whenever I'm stoned"... maybe its an apology of sorts to his friend(s) who he spends large amounts of time away from... dont know... hoping to hear some more thoughts on this one
alice in chains was a band with the potential to be much bigger than they were, but their internal problems caused them to implode leaving only about 60 songs for the world to enjoy. Still Jerry (at least publicly) doesn't lay blame with anyone to the demise of his band.
apart from the obvious wedges Alice seemed like such a close-knit group. i cant help but wonder what might have been.
