Friends In High Places

(album: Sample And Hold - 1983)

So you got it right there in the palm of your hand
Too busy with the sun and the sea and the sand
To think about so and so like me

What you gonna do when the sun goes cold
And lines on your face say you're getting to old
To be messing with that kind of company

And all your friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
When they've had enough of your pretty face

When they've had their fun
They will leave you flat
They will let you fall
At the drop of a hat

They'll put you down
And maybe then
I won't be around

Everybody knows that you got a stack
For saying that you made it on your back
I remember when you gave it all to me

You're looking like you really got it made
Like it's never gonna rain on your charade
'Cause now you give it all away for free

And all your friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
When they've had enough of your pretty face

When they've had their fun
They will leave you flat
They will let you fall
At the drop of a hat

They'll put you down
And maybe then
I won't be around

What you gonna do when you love a voice
But simply had enough of all your toys
And they're looking for another place to play

Baby when you find you're all alone
And you're waiting all night for the telephone
Wishing that you'd never gone away

And all your friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
When they've had enough of your pretty face

When they've had their fun
They will leave you flat
They will let you fall
At the drop of a hat

They'll put you down

All your friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down

Friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
