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 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
