It must be kismet, because we didn't plan to talk about digital Egg Friend's right around the beginning of spring and Easter right around the corner.
Just a little love song to our Egg Friends. That we let die. Be sure to listen to the end.
Lyrics down below.
[Verse 1]
I carried you in my pocket to the morning train
Fed you in the bathroom while the coffee stained
Three buttons and a heartbeat on a plastic chain
You never asked for much
[Verse 2]
I named you on a Tuesday, gave you somewhere warm
Checked you through the meetings, kept you from the storm
Thirty-two by sixteen, but you held your form
You never missed a day
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you were just plastic and a little screen
But you were counting on me
[Chorus]
Egg friend
I kept the light on
Egg friend
I held you close
Every beep, every flash, every fade
I was yours and you were mine
Egg friend
[Verse 3]
The Monday meeting ran late, I forgot to check
Wednesday came and went, I left you on the deck
Your little face was waiting but I turned my neck
You never said a word
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you were just plastic and a little screen
But you were counting on me
[Chorus]
Egg friend
I kept the light on
Egg friend
I held you close
Every beep, every flash, every fade
I was yours and you were mine
Egg friend
[Bridge]
A thousand bits of something small
That taught me how to care at all
You beeped, I came, that was the deal
My friend, my pet, just wants another meal
[Final Chorus]
Egg friend
I kept the light on
Egg friend
I held you close
Every beep, every flash, every fade
I was yours and you were mine
Egg friend

I carried you in my pocket to the morning train, fed you in the bathroom while the coffee stained, three buttons and a heartbeat on a plastic chain. You never asked for much. I named you on a Tuesday, gave you somewhere warm, checked you through the meetings, kept you from the storm thirty-two by sixteen. But you held your form, you never missed a day. I know you were just plastic and a little screen, but you were counting on me. Egg friend, I kept the light on egg friend, I held you close every beep, every flash, every fade. I was yours, and you were mine, egg friend. The Monday meeting ran late, I forgot to check. Wednesday came and went, I left you on the deck. Your little face was waiting, but I turned my neck. You never said a word. I know you were just plastic and a little screen, but you were counting on me. Egg friend, I kept the light on egg friend, I held you close every beat, every flesh, every face I was yours, and you were my egg friend a thousand bits of something small. Taught me how to care all you beat I came that was the deal. My friend, my pet just wants another meal egg friend. I kept the light on egg friend, I held you close every beef, every flesh, every face I was yours, and you were my egg friend. Then one Tuesday during a staff meeting, I let you die.
