I'll bet good moneyI'll bet some beautiful moneyThat we could agreeWith anybody here to disagreeThat we could get up from the tableAnd nobody would knowYou could leave your mouth talkingAnd follow me out the windowI've idled here as long as I canI've taken my entertainment like a manI'm all ribbons, scissors, flowersAnd shaking handsI'm a name and a black bookAttached to a faceAt the back of your memory'sWindow displayIt's on the tip of your tongue, I'm sureBut I must awayMust be good to know peopleWho know so many peopleMust be good to be somebody,Good to be somebodyThey knowSongtexteAnd the fastest of friends, the fastest of friendsI'm sure, we'll all beThe fastest of friends, the fastest of friendsI'm sure we'll remainDie here in our deck chairsSurrounded by beautiful shoesOr hide out with meDown at the bottom of the swimming poolClimb the tower to the bell curveThat cuts and cuts so cleanOr shoot out sharpened arrows atTheir family treesCause I know no quicker way, dearTo the shiny gates of hellThan a room full of handsome devilsComparing everything to everything elseThey just keep coming onLike a driverless trainI can think of nothing adorable to sayIt's half past the hour,Looks like rainDo you like me?Can I go now?At the end of the yellow brick driveNobody waits for usOn our backs on the roof of the carWatch the switchboard lighting upAnd the fastest of friends, the fastest of friendsI'm sure we'll all beThe fastest of friends, the fastest of friendsI'm sure we'll remainAnd don't worry, babyThey won't let the ship go down without usAnd don't worry babyThey won't let the ship go down without us(I figured these out from listening to the version he played on triple j, the album lyrics might be different) Aus Songtexte Mania
