My Funny Friend and Me (From "The Emperors New Groove") Songtext
von Sting

In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey
And we wondered just what happened

To the life we knew before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me and you reminded me

That the world is not my playground
There are other things that matter
And when a simple needs protecting
My illusions all would shatter

But you stayed in my corner
The only world I know was upside down
And now the world and me
I know you carry me


You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We could be lost, we could refuse to try
But we made it through in the dark night
Would those lucky guys turn out to be?
But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me

I′m not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure
I always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure

But you stayed and you called my name
When others would have walked out on a lousy game
And you could′ve made it through
But your funny friend and me

You see the patterns in the big sky, yeah-yeah
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet in a bigger guy
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry

(Just like the patterns in the big sky) we'll be together!
(We′ll be together ′til the end is nigh) don't know, you don′t know!
(Don't know the answer or the reason why) we′ll stick together!
(We'll stick together ′til the day we die)


If I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
When the angels sing that unlikely blend
Are those two funny friends?
That's us
