Lyrics
I once had an imaginary friend
We would like to play pretend
We'd play in the light of day
Silly boy, I called him Dave
But at night while counting sheep
Dave would never let me sleep
I would dream of sunny days
Dave would steal my dreams away
Hey, the dark side of Dave
Don't ya know he'll drive you crazy it's on his way home
Hey, the dark side of Dave, suck the fun out of your day without a trace of guilt
Did the devil make him do it?
I see things move on the shelf when I'm sitting by myself
I just want to run away, when my friend Dave comes to play
When I hide it's me he'll find
Hide and seek inside my mind
Devil dancing on a grave, devil looks a lot like Dave
Hey, the dark side of Dave
Don't ya know he'll drive you crazy it's on his way home
Hey, the dark side of Dave, suck the fun out of your day without a trace of guilt
Did the devil make him do it?
I once had a friend named Dave
He was naughty, he was strange
He would always find those heebie jeebies in my mind
If you have a friend named Dave
You don't have to run and hide
You don't have to fear the things you feared when you were five
