Fast Friends

Lyrics

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 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 shaking hands I'm just 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 await Must be good to know people who know so many people Must be good to be somebody Good to be somebody they know And 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 Hey, hey! Die here in our deck chairs, surrounded by beautiful shoes Or hide out and meet down Down 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 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 waits for us And on our backs, on the roof of the car, watch the switchboard lighting up And 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 And don't worry baby, they won't let the ship go down without us Without us I'll bet good money I'll bet some beautiful money
