Advertisement In The Voice

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I teach a class of forty principles of mathematics In a fine Northeastern school I've read the great philosophies of Plato, Christ and Socrates And I live by most their rules But at three o'clock I start to get the blues [Chorus] I read your advertisement in the Voice Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend" Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again [Verse 2] I love to listen to the melodies of Bach and Beethoven And I think Bowie's a gas In '68 I worked for Gene and helped bring down the big machine And I prayed that it would last But at three o'clock I start to get the blues [Chorus] I read your advertisement in the Voice Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend" Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again [Verse 3] I have a nine-room house completely furnished in the best of taste And I drive a brand new Porsche I have a quadraphonic system with complete access to tapes And I could be your Santa Claus But at three o'clock I start to get these blues [Chorus] I read your advertisement in the Voice Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend" Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again
