sometimes it never rains
it can't rain all the time
and if i seem to make no sense
i make no sense sometimes
sometimes it never shines
it can't shine all the time
and i can't speak through one more scene
i can't talk all the time
there's a promise in your mouth
is that what this was all about?
we've got to suck it in and shout
it's been a long long time
sometimes i never talk
i can't talk all the time
and i can't see to find my feet
i can't sleep all the time
you've got to stop before you talk
because it's all been said before
you can't stop knocking down my door
it's been a long long long long time
sunday's child will fall from grace
and heaven holds the hands that pray
there's nothing here for me to say
with my name upon your face
there's no one counting down these days
there's no one here to hear you say
it's been a long long long long time
sometimes it never rains
it can't rain all the time
and if i seem to make no sense
i make no sense sometimes
sometimes it never shines
it can't shine all the time
and i can't speak through one more scene
i can't talk all the time
there's a promise in your mouth
is that what this was all about?
we've got to suck it in and shout
it's been a long long time
you've got to stop before you talk
because it's all been said before
you can't stop knocking down my door
it's been a long long long long time
sometimes it never rains
it can't rain all the time

i'm staring at the front door in my coat
it's kinda rainy
i've a feeling i 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 coversation 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 i 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 coversation 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 20 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 20 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 coversation 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'm watching the world go round
i'm watching the world's end
and i could get lonely
if this is a lie she said
this is the end
fall on tears all my friends
this is the end
fall on tears all my friends
mary don't know me
mary don't owe me time
promises don't come
miracles leave me blind
this is the end
fall on tears all my friends
this is the end
fall on tears all my friends
i'm watching the world turn
i'm watching the sun go down
i'm watching the sky fall down like rain
and i see my way
nothing can save me now
no one hears you fall
and who cares anyway
mary don't know me
mary don't owe me time
and i could get lonely
watching the world unwind
this is the end
fall on tears all my friends
this is the end
fall on tears all my friends
this is the end
fall on tears all my friends
this is the end
fall on tears all my friends
i've got lipstick on my front teeth
i'm full of pills but i don't feel good yet
tied up running out of good luck
eyeliner tears are running down my neck
make up, chewing gum and hair spray
i know tomorrow's gonna taste like this
wrap the world up in a suitcase
and there's a million wanna shake my fist
there's a world in front of me
i know tomorrow's gonna taste like cake
there's easy money for the freaks
a million friends that don't know what my name is
i could be flavor of the weekend
i smell like roses and i taste like cake
wake up sleeping on the pavement
everybody needs a friend down there
i don't really wanna leave
i know tomorrow's gonna taste like cake
there's easy money for the freaks
there's television on but who cares anyway?
there's a world in front of me
