Friends

I'm staring at the front door in my coat

It's kinda rainy, i've a feeling i don't want to know

I'm walking down the pavement, here i go

I'm heading for a place i've been a million times before

And there's a thousand better ways that i could spend my time

Than coversation with somebody where the sun don't shine

There's lots of people i can be around and not pretend

That i've been everywhere before

And i call 'em my friends

Friends

Somebody's got a party where i go

I wish i lost the invitation

There's nobody there i know

Conversation gets too loud

Too many people want to talk

I wish they'd turn it all down

And everybody's got a million different points of view

But when you're looking out the window

That they're looking through

Don't you think it's kinda stupid

Trying to jump onto the rat race

Train that's going the same way too

And there's a thousand better ways that i could spend my time

Than coversation with somebody where the sun don't shine

There's lots of people i can be around and not pretend

That i've been everywhere before

And i call 'em my friends

Friends

I look at my reflection on their wall

I feel so empty

I'm surprised to see my face in there at all

I make up an excuse to call my phone

And less than 20 minutes later

I'm in a taxi heading home

And richard burton's on a bender trying to get back home

He's never been so many miles

From back where he comes from

He must be 20 times the legal limit staring at the end

There's not a telephone for miles

I want to talk to my friends

There's a thousand better ways

That i can spend my time

Than coversation with somebody where the sun don't shine

There's lots of people i can be around and not pretend

That i've been everywhere before

And i call 'em my friends

Friends
