The Smile Friend of a Friend Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can go anywhere that I want
I just gotta turn myself inside out and back to front
With cut out shapes and worn out spaces
Add some sparkles to create the right effect
They're all smiling, so I guess I'll stay
At least 'til the disappointed have eaten themselves away
[Pre-Chorus]
Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulder
[Chorus]
All the window balconies, they seem so flimsy as our
Friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun
[Verse 2]
I guess I believe in an altered state
Where they leave their windows and their doors open wide
Here the telephone lines are always busy
Unable to give a reason or a straight answer
[Pre-Chorus]
Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulders
We need to get it together

[Chorus]
From our window balconies we take a tumble as our
Friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun
[Outro]
All of that money
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
In somebody's pocket
A friend of a friend
All the loose change
Loose change
