Fairweather Friend

                                  Say you see through the folly but you do it for the fame

And I'm fighting the jet stream drinking cheap wine on airplanes

And you're in LA not Chicago

Key under mat, I walk the dog, order in, home alone



Found your letter on a full moon Sunday night

Some other girl in your spell casting plans for her life

Pour the vodka and it dulls sharp knives

Breathe the words of diamonds on rings



And you didn't mean to do it

So I don't have to believe it

If you didn't really mean  it

Then magical thinking gets us by



Think for the after show those candy-colored lips

Your age is showing and you've gotta work harder for it

It's always easier with freshmen

They're not as clever and she'll bring you to life



And you didn't mean to do it

So I don't have to believe it

If you didn't really mean  it

Then magical thinking gets us by



My fairweather friend

Fairweather friend



Live for the folly but you did it for the fame

Now you're fragile as porcelain drinking cheap wine on airplanes

Did I ever leave Chicago?

Got your message that you're doing well



And you didn't mean to do it

So I don't have to believe it

If we didn't really mean  it

Then magical thinking gets us by



Gets us by, gets us by



[Repeat: x4]

You say you see through the folly but you did it for the fame



My fairweather friend
