New Friends Now
Our star’s been waning
And she hangs out in places
Where Daddy Showboat
Tends to go
The marina and the green
These important people
Made sister Diamond
Love them so
Diamond and a flock of friends
Spending precious time together
Her phone is ringing
But she don’t take my call
Diamond got a lot to do
collecting things that … fall from the table
The wheels are spinning but
The Cadillac won’t move
Six months gone by by now
So marvellous
New pals keep shining
With no complaints
I dread the day this gets
Too tough on us
Get brilliant crap
Forget they’re vain
Diamond and a flock of friends
Spending precious time together
Her phone is ringing
But she can’t take my call
Diamond’s got a lot to do
Collecting things that … fall from the table
The wheels are spinning but
The Cadillac won’t move
Diamond’s on the other end
I can hear the static on the line
There’s no cheap talking
There’s no talking left at all
Diamond’s got a lot to do
Collecting things that … fall from the table
The wheels are spinning but
The Cadillac won’t move

The Way I Thought It Was

The Way I Thought It Was
This city once held a promise
These days we loved to get high
We'd cruise the streets in a big red Ford
It’s hard to be smart but we tried
And somewhere on earth
The world must be the way
I thought it was...
Now, everything here is easy-clean
On the streets and in the bar
They tell me that I’m safe and sound
When I stay inside the car
and somewhere on earth
The world must be the way
I thought it was...
The sound of your voice is forgotten
Still known is the touch of your lips
Love came and went in a sudden
Back in the Day when My Scene was hip
Now somewhere on earth
The world must be the way
I thought it was...
