Marc Almond - Friends lyrics

Drawing back the curtains Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon Here's that special silence Just before you walk out of the hotel room Each time we're so close I a**ume That we'll never be again Oh, how long must we pretend? A casual affair Was all that you could spare From your emotional change A calendar of greetings Strangers on the street The best we've ever arranged Now I just can't stand all the pain All the constant break and mend Oh, how long can we pretend That we're just good friends? I gave you my devotion Hiding nothing up my sleeve If I walked clean out of your life Would you even notice me? So much tangled up emotion Should I stay or should I go? If I walked clean out of your life How long would it take you to know? Are we such good friends? And how sordid this has become As the means approach the end And how long can we pretend? I gave my devotion Hiding nothing up my sleeve If I walked clean out of your life Would you even notice me? So much tangled up emotion Should I stay or should I go? If I walked clean out of your life How long would it take you to know? If I walked clean out of your life How long would it take you to know? Are we still good friends?
