"You Can Buy Friends" lyrics - THE BEARS
THE BEARS
"You Can Buy Friends"
A squat greek sips his ouzo
Fingering his gold neck chain
Robust corn-fed american beauties
Lick the salty rim of margaritas
In the corner lies a comatose musician
Dreaming on the job again
You can't buy love
But you can buy friends
Upon her breast a shiny crucifix
Holier than me I guess
Sheds friends like a snake sheds skin
Her laughter sounds so venomous
In his corner lies the once proud musician
Thinking on the job again
