A long distance

I need all the friends I can get

I can see that you are leading her on

I think I know what you are

I can see that you are leading her on

I know what you are

You can't see that you're just the same as all the stupid people who you hate

I'm not saying I'm free from blame because I need all the friends I can get

I can get

I can get

A long distance call to a mystery blond it wasn't good for business

But you say that she cried when she heard the bird's song

You want to soothe her distress

You can't see that she's just the same as all the stupid people who you hate

I'm not saying I'm free from blame because I need all the friends I can get

I can get

I can get

Can't you see that you are leading her on

You're feeling listless

People are tired and commitment has gone

To this I've been a witness

You can't see that I'm just the same as all the stupid people who you hate

I'm not saying I'm free from blame because I need all the friends I can get

I can get

I can get

P.S. "Atravessou as nossas ruas entre gatos,

a chuva molhou-lhe as pobres botas cambadas.

Teve um banco de jardim, teve amigos, um deles o sol.

Sempre sem o saber procurou Deus."

Ruy Belo
