I CHOOSE MY FRIENDS
ONLY FAR TOO WELL
I'M UP ON THE PAVEMENT
THEY'RE ALL DOWN IN THE CELLAR
WITH THEIR
GOVERNMENT GRANTS
AND MY I.Q.
THEY BROUGHT ME DOWN TO SIZE
ACADEMIA BLUES...
LOUISE IS A GIRL
I KNOW HER WELL
SHE'S UP ON THE PAVEMENT
YES, SHE'S A WEATHER GIRL
AND I'M STAYING UP HERE
SO, I MAY BE UNDONE
SHE'S INAPPROPRIATE
BUT THEN
SHE'S MUCH MORE FUN AND
WHEN SHE SMILES MY WAY
MY EYES GO OUT IN VAIN
SHE'S GOT PERFECT SKIN
SHAME ON YOU
YOU'VE GOT NO SENSE OF GRACE
SHAME ON ME
AH... JUST IN CASE
I MIGHT COME TO A CONCLUSION
OTHER THAN THAT WHICH IS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
AND THAT'S PERFECT SKIN
LOUISE IS THE GIRL WITH THE
PERFECT SKIN, SHE SAYS TURN ON
THE LIGHT, OTHERWISE IT CAN'T
BE SEEN, SHE'S GOT
CHEEKBONES LIKE GEOMETRY
AND EYES LIKE SIN AND SHE'S
SEXUALLY ENLIGHTENED
BY COSMOPOLITAN AND
WHEN SHE SMILES MY WAY
MY EYES GO OUT IN VAIN
FOR HER PERFECT SKIN
YEAH, THAT'S PERFECT SKIN
SHE TAKES ME DOWN
TO THE BASEMENT
TO LOOK AT HER SLIDES
OF HER FAMILY LIFE
PRETTY WEIRD AT TIMES
AT THE AGE OF TEN
SHE LOOKED LIKE GRETA GARBO
AND I LOVED HER THEN, BUT
HOW WAS SHE TO KNOW THAT
WHEN SHE SMILES MY WAY
MY EYES GO OUT IN VAIN
SHE'S GOT PERFECT SKIN
UP EIGHT FLIGHTS OF STAIRS
TO HER BASEMENT FLAT
PRETTY CONFUSED, HUH
BEING SHIPPED
AROUND LIKE THAT
SEEMS WE CLIMBED SO HIGH
NOW WE'RE DOWN SO LOW
STRIKES ME THE MORAL
OF THIS SONG MUST BE
THERE NEVER HAS BEEN ONE
