I'll bet good money, i'll bet some beautiful money |
|
That we could agree with anybody here to disagree |
|
That we could get up from the table and nobody would know - |
|
You could leave your mouth talking and follow me out of the window |
|
I've idled here as long as i can, i've taken my entertainment like a man |
|
I'm all ribbons, scissors, flowers and shaken hands |
|
I'm a name in a black book attached to a face |
|
At the back of your memory's window display |
|
It's on the tip of your tongue i'm sure, but i must away |
|
Must be good to know people who know so many people |
|
Must be good to be somebody, good to be somebody they know |
|
The fastest of friends, the fastest of friends, i'm sure we'll all be |
|
The fastest of friends, the fastest of friends, i'm sure we'll remain... |
|
Die here in our deck chairs surrounded by beautiful shoes |
|
Or hide out and meet down at the bottom of the swimming pool |
|
Climb the tower to the bell curve that cuts us all so clean |
|
Or shoot our sharpened arrows at their family trees |
|
'Cause i know no quicker way dear, to the shiny gates of hell |
|
Than a room full of handsome devils comparing everything to everything else |
|
They just keep coming on like a driverless train |
|
And i can think of nothing adorable to say |
|
It's half past the hour, it looks like rain - do you like me? Can i go now? |
|
At the end of the yellow brick drive nobody looks for us, |
|
On our backs on the roof of a car we'll watch the switchboard lighting up |
|
The fastest of friends, the fastest of friends, i'm sure we'll all be |
|
The fastest of friends, the fastest of friends, i'm sure we'll remain... |
|
And don't worry baby they won't let the ship go down without us... |
