Sophie

Sophie I’ve got to go

there’s another call on the line

you know I promised this would be the last time

I get lost at the station

don’t you know who I’ve been?

at another golden palace nursing habits in the place I used to keep my friends

When I called home yesterday

to see if everything’s ok

you said ‘no, not really’

‘no, not really’

Everything you love is leaving

everybody else has gone

sleeping in the sun with Sophie

making peace under neon

Mr. Lennox in the nick of time

Lucy in the first grade

Kitty’s on the metro counting quarters getting ready for the suit parade

Oh yes I’ve gambled opportunity

sometimes I take it on the chin

but sweet Sophie’s in the corner with the bookie combing for the odds and ends

When I called home yesterday

to see if everything’s ok

you said ‘no, not really’

‘no, not really’

Everything you love is leaving

everybody else has gone

sleeping in the sun with Sophie

making peace under neon

Everything you love is leaving

everybody else has gone

sleeping in the sun with Sophie

making peace under neon
