When you came through the door
My hat was on the floor
I was going around the big wheel
Your sweet and lazy storm
Kept swirling around the room
And I was face down in the sugar bowl

But you have always been my best friend
Shallow and deep until the end
You have always been my best friend
Shallow and deep until the end

When you came on the scene
I was a child of mystery
With a tall hat on my head
Our foes were lean and mean
But we always stood a chance
In our hideaway noone would see

But you have always been my best friend
Shallow and deep until the end
You have always been my best friend
Shallow and deep until the end

And though our dreams are there for the taking
We can all see an angry star
Though our dreams are there for the taking
When you came to the door

I was never close at hand
And I had not a leg to stand
And I was never in demand I told you
You never did know when to laugh
Take a hike or take a bath
Always going around the big wheel

But you have always been my best friend
Shallow and deep until the end
You have always been my best friend
Thick and thin
You have always been my best friend.

And though our dreams are there for the taking
We can all see an angry star
Though our dreams are there for the taking
When you came to the door
Yeah, yeah.
