Chase and Sanborn (A Quale of Friendship) - Shinobu

chase and sanborn met

bumming cigarettes from the bums

that they met

in the downtown streets of the city,

in the downtown streets of the city.

girls and coffee tasting,

watching movies and wasting time,

we could recite every line from 'plain clothes' and 'out of sight'

a young arlis howard could make you feel alright.

but those maxwell house dreams won’t

hold you up when the caffeine folds

in the blood of your heart, and you know its true.

trying hard to ensure

the dregs of your cup aren’t too plebian,

cause those mechanical eyes tell unreliable lies

when they’re judging the human heart.

oh!

sister’s mary’s room,

oh!

the physical duplicates,

oh!

my reds and greens,

and what it’s like to be a bat.

but those maxwell house dreams won’t

hold you up when your friendships fold

and you’re left alone.

sanborn says the taste has changed,

but chase still says it tastes the same, just his tastes in friends has changed

and he could never feel the same.

but we’ll always have those better times,

we’ll always have those better times

with young arlis howard,

in the downtown streets of the city,

in the downtown streets of the city.
