I turn my friend away when he moans like Leo's Lisa When he's talkin' 'bout that piece of pie in the sky That he thinks he's gonna have some day
I turn my friend away when he runs his private races When he clocks his dreams And puts them through their paces ♪ Well, I just wish I had a penny For every time I've heard them say empty soundin' words They just fill the night with tears Like the snowbird that I hear singin' at dawn I know what he's trying to say And as night turns into day ♪ I turn my friend away When the bold eyed boys of Summer Entertain me with their teenage grief, come hither ♪ Well, I just wish I had a penny For every time I've heard them say empty soundin' words They just fill the night with tears Like the snowbird that I hear singin' at dawn I know what he's tryin' to say And as night turns into day
