Fast Friends Songtext
von Paul Dempsey

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...
