Fast Friends

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...
