Love Spit Love: Friends

I'm staring at the front door in my coatIt's kinda rainy, i've a feeling i don't want to knowI'm walking down the pavement, here i goI'm heading for a place i've been a million times beforeAnd there's a thousand better ways that i could spend my timeThan coversation with somebody where the sun don't shineThere's lots of people i can be around and not pretendThat i've been everywhere beforeAnd i call 'em my friendsFriendsSomebody's got a party where i goI wish i lost the invitationThere's nobody there i knowConversation gets too loudToo many people want to talkI wish they'd turn it all downAnd everybody's got a million different points of viewBut when you're looking out the windowThat they're looking throughDon't you think it's kinda stupidTrying to jump onto the rat raceTrain that's going the same way tooAnd there's a thousand better ways that i could spend my timeThan coversation with somebody where the sun don't shineThere's lots of people i can be around and not pretendThat i've been everywhere beforeAnd i call 'em my friendsFriendsI look at my reflection on their wallI feel so emptyI'm surprised to see my face in there at allI make up an excuse to call my phoneAnd less than 20 minutes laterI'm in a taxi heading homeAnd richard burton's on a bender trying to get back homeHe's never been so many milesFrom back where he comes fromHe must be 20 times the legal limit staring at the endThere's not a telephone for milesI want to talk to my friendsThere's a thousand better waysThat i can spend my timeThan coversation with somebody where the sun don't shineThere's lots of people i can be around and not pretendThat i've been everywhere beforeAnd i call 'em my friendsFriends
