So the lyrics posted here seem incorrect for the most part :. The middle is very unclear(others have any ideas?), but i believe the end is mostly correct.
Visiting Friends:
"We were visiting friends and saying hello
Then getting stoned and not saying much
Watching the people on TV who talk faster than us
I'm still holding the cup
Ignoring the sound of the ice cream truck
(?)
She had visiting moods
What it wants to be
We were visiting friends
(?) too (muddy)
(?) got stuck
I walked a (?)
(?)
I heard a bird in the windowpane
You rolled up your grass
(?)
But the cop couldn't tell
But the comfort to know what visiting is
We're visiting beds
Marking the difference
In the way that they smell
The light hits them differently
The sheets do get cold
The windows are cracked
Do you recognize the room,
The posters that tilt,
Furniture spread around
We were visiting mine"
Also, i believe by "visiting friends" he is speaking of a relationship in which the lover comes and goes...Visiting friends as in a friend who only visits, never staying to establish anything worthwhile. Just an idea, rereading the partial lyrics with that in mind really helped me at least feel like i understand the song/meaning, but to each his own :)
