these friends of mine, fill in the lines to put in the songs you like, to fill up your time, these friends of mine, who write the lines, and put out the songs you like in half the time - something's wrong if it's the old news, just play the C chord like it's something new, like it's something new

this is what want, you know we had to wait a good while, this is what we need to live out all the love that we read, this ain't no new kinda story - things are not that bad, you know we had a hell of a dad, well, this ain't no new kinda story

when you're done with the run, I wanna take your height, like everybody else, who knows you're coming back, by luring all of your friends with a never ending light, not 20 dollar bills that never change your life - when you're done with the run I wanna take your height, like everybody else with a double decker house

when there's no heart, well I wanna live again, can't delay it no more, no you're got no heart, I try to sleep but I think a lot about driving streets that just never stop, when you know there's gonna be, you know there's gonna be no more shows, there is no more goals, well you've got no soul

so this is how it feels when you've got no one, so this is how it feels when you've got no home, I don't wanna be alone, sitting by a no ringing telephone, no I don't wanna be alone, so we'll just try - so this is how it feels when you've got no eyes

these are what you like, so I'll turn in my card 'til the payment's right, these are thing you need, I'll turn in my card til the payment's right, and because I like it when you're hanging around, because you took on my name. these are things you say, when we drive in a car with the songs I make, these are things I need, know when to call and know when to leave

this is how you know when you can't do right, think you should have gone for a country life, good for nothing when you're a dethroned king, a dethroned king - this is how you know when you lose your light

pictures on a doorstep and no lack hesitation, need a drummer, cause I've got imagination, you know we're going places I don't wanna go, so just stand off, I stack your face and pretend you look good, - we don't wanna play because we've tracked an education, lead us when you see we have the motivation, you know we are going places

I left you two alone, with nothing really wrong, but you messed up the party, I never did you wrong, you keep on wasting holidays, I guess I could be wrong, but I never wasted the holiday - a friend like you is all I need

come on, I wanna love I wish you'd turn me around just to climb up the trees, it's a kick in the knees, that all, and you know I think it's all come about because we climbed up some trees and got stung by the bees so come on and be with me I want your company - you're the friend that I need, yeah I know how to read
