September came real fast Faster than the last Are you alone? Cause I'm alone
You got the key to our safe Keep it secret for our sake Or I'm gone While I'm gone
You could hide it in your pillow Or in an old doll's head Underneath a tree somewhere Or just swallow it instead
Cause Lord you know I've tried Have I not? And all these new friends stare and remind me Of what I haven't got
Fifty thousand pounds Stashed under the ground I'll take you out Now I can take you out
Secrets in the walls Left there from before They moved out Why don't you come round?
And see my new reflection In my brand new trophy room
We'll buy a ticket out of here Maybe Rio de Janerio
Cause Lord you know I've tried Have I not? And all these new friends stare and remind me Of what I haven't got
A brand new life in the sun We'll go from beach to beach It's just begun It's just begun
What I thought was the start became the end It turns out you just want to be my friend You turn to me and say 'This was a nice holiday' (Nooooo)
And you can see my new reflection As it crumbles to the floor Another drink, oh, another chat I've got friends in every port
Cause Lord you know I've tried Have I not? And all these new friends stare and remind me Oh, but they do inspire me Oh, will anybody take me home tonight?
