lyrics

FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES

I got friends in high places,
some familiar faces,
better cover your traces,
tie a few shoe laces!

I know all the big spenders,
all the girls in suspenders,
all the fractional lenders,
presidential contenders...

Step through that door and there's no looking back:
soon you'll have goys eating out of your hand.
You can climb Everest in a little black dress,
coz you're simply the best!
And you just passed your A level test!

It's a pleasure to meet ya,
you adorable creature...
Gentlemen like to date ya,
well that's just human nature!

Yes Cinderella you'll go to the ball,
dressed to the nines in a black baby doll.
You'll meet your prince, make him dance all night long
-and disappear in the dawn
with a wave of a magical wand!

I've got friends who are famous,
who shall remain nameless.
Though my parties are shameless,
everybody is blameless...

Well, well Snow White is climbing the stairs
with stars in her eyes and spunk in her hair!
The top of the class and the toast of the town:
once you're up on a cloud
there is no coming down!

We're all coked to the eyeballs,
serving champagne and libels:
my allegiance is tribal,
Mojo is my bible...

Shake a hand, kiss a cheek, slap a thigh:
the boys on the board and the girls on the game,
a whack in the back of a black Cadillac:
all these Thais look the same,
I'm afraid I don't recall your name...
