I'm staring at the front door in my coat   It's kinda rainy, I've a feeling don't want to know   I'm walking down the pavement, here I go   I'm heading for a place, I've been a million times before      And there's a thousand better ways   That I could spend my time   Than conversation with somebody   Where the sun don't shine      There's lots of people I can be around   And not pretend   That I've been everywhere before   And I call 'em my friends, friends      Somebody's got a party where I go   I Wish lost the invitation, there's nobody there I know   Conversation gets too loud   Too many people want to talk, I wish they'd turn it all down      And everybody's got a million   Different points of view   But when you're looking out the window   That they're looking through      Don't you think it's kinda stupid   Trying to jump onto the rat race   Train that's going the same way too      And there's a thousand better ways   That I could spend my time   Than conversation with somebody   Where the sun don't shine      There's lots of people I can be around   And not pretend   That I've been everywhere before   And I call 'em my friends, friends      I look at my reflection on their wall   I feel so empty, I'm surprised   To see my face in there at all      I make up an excuse to call my phone   And less than twenty minutes later   I'm in a taxi heading home      And Richard Burton's on a Benderz   Trying to get back home   He's never been so many miles   From back where he comes from      He must be twenty times the legal limit   Staring at the end   There's not a telephone for miles   I want to talk to my friends      There's a thousand better ways   That I can spend my time   Than conversation with somebody   Where the sun don't shine      There's lots of people I can be around   And not pretend   That I've been everywhere before   And I call 'em my friends, friends
