Pearl Jam - Gonna See My Friend Lyrics






Do you want to hear something sad?
we are but victims of desire
I'm gonna shake this day
I wanna shake this day before I retire

I'm gonna see my friend
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm sick of everything
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away

Well I said I... I won't be long before we all walk off the wire
Well I'm gonna see my friend, I'm gonna see my friend for what I require
Well I said I will come in quick
don't want my flame to get no higher

I'm gonna see my friend
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm sick of everything
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm gonna see my friend
gonna see my friend, make it go away

Want to leave it all.
Want to give it up.
Want to see it go once and for all
Want to view it cho
Want a little bit home
Want to be there...
Hard as a statue, black as a tattoo, never to wash away

Gonna take me an astral plane
I'm gonna tunnel through denial
But I'm gonna shake this day
I wanna shake this day before I retire

I'm gonna see my friend
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm sick of everything
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm gonna see my friend
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away

Pearl Jam Gonna See My Friend Comments
  1. M.... ....

    This song was my introduction to Pearl Jam, and I remember the first time I heard it clear as a bell. It was 2 or 3 weeks into high school junior year. My history teacher waltzed into class as if he had something to celebrate. When the girl sitting next to me said: "Good afternoon," to him, he said: "It sure is a *good* afternoon." Before any of us could ask him why he said he just got the new Peral Jam album and he felt we should hear it. He then plugged his iPod Nano into his computer speakers and played the album start to finish as we studied for a test (I passed BTW.) As this was the opening track, it was also the first Pearl Jam song I ever heard, and it instantly got stuck in my head. Thank you again, Mr. D'Amico for introducing me to Pearl Jam.

    Dave was fired around the time of Vitalogy and Jack Irons took over. Jack left before they started touring Yield and then Matt Cameron took over. Matt was the drummer on Live on Two Legs.
