Good Rats - Advertisement In The Voice

Текст песни

I teach a class of phony principles of mathematics
In a fine Northeastern school.
I’ve read the great philosophies of Plato, Christ and Socrates
And I live by most their rules,
But at 3 o’clock I start to get the blues
I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it «Friend»
Oh it’s 3 o’clock, and I’m alone again
I love to listen to the melodies of Bach and Beethoven
And I think Bowie’s a gas.
In '68 I worked for Gene and helped bring down the big machine
And I prayed that it would last
But at 3 o’clock I start to get the blues
I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it «Friend»
Oh it’s 3 o’clock, and I’m alone again
I have a 9 room house completly furnished in the best of taste
And I drive a brand new Porche
I have a Quadraphonic system with complete access to tapes
And I could be your Santa Claus
But at 3 o’clock I start to get the blues
I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it «Friend»
Oh it’s 3 o’clock, and I’m alone again
