Friend Of A Frient (feat. Genevieve V.)

Her name was Charlotte She lived in my dorm on the second floor I was a freshman I think she was a sophomore The TV in the commons called the play by play For some far off Asian war Now Charlotte isn't with us anymore She had a boyfriend His number came up and he went off to war She had a problem Whispers shared behind closed doors Digits scrawled by a friend of a friend Furtively slipped under her door Now Charlotte isn't with us anymore We had to rely on the kindness of strangers None of us knew who to trust in the end But we found out when we got in trouble Everyone knew someone with a friend of a friend She called the number They sent her to a payphone by a store Said they could help her 500 dollars would get her in their door A ride with a stranger after midnight brought her to an office on a darkened floor Now Charlotte isn't with us anymore What would you do if it were you (Did what we had to in '72) Leaps of faith clandestine moves (Did what we had to in '72) Scared of what we had to lose (Did what we had to in'72) Fought so our daughters could safely choose Charlotte came back early She didn't have her problem anymore Brought her some breakfast She moaned just leave it by the door her friend checked her later she had fever Higher than she'd ever had before Now Charlotte isn't with us anymore I was in the commons when they rolled Charlotte past the open door Her roommate found her Blood soaked lying on the bathroom floor House mother said later Charlotte couldn't Come back to the second floor Yeah, Charlotte isn't with us anymore We had to rely on the kindness of strangers None of us knew who to trust in the end But we found out when we got in trouble Everyone knew someone with a friend of a friend We all knew someone with a friend of a friend Friend of a friend (Ahhhhh) Friend of a friend (ahhhhhhh) Friend of a friend
