I wear the clothes of the characters of films that I see Some say unoriginal, but it works out for me I collect the labels off the drinks that I drink So many fluids one would think that I’d sink
It’s a fact dear I’m an act here, no camera no stage Dressed to impress so I can lie about my age
And oh, you gonna lean on your friends And oh, you did it again And oh, you gonna lean on your friends And oh, you did it again
I can’t differentiate my dreams from the real And I can’t tell you how familiar it feels I see the faces as I enter the room Quite unintentionally, I am a buffoon
It’s a fact dear I’m an act here, no camera no stage Dressed to impress so I can lie about my age
And oh, you gonna lean on your friends And oh, you did it again And oh, you gonna lean on your friends And oh, you did it again
And the beatniks, and the junkies And if you feed them you flunky You sing “ooh, ooh, ooh” There’s Paul’s house, there’s blow there No we don’t go, we stay there and sing: “Ooh, ooh, ooh” And the projects and the Charlie’s And the discos and the parties And the blood streets and the new wave It’s the renaissance of these days
And oh, you gonna lean on your friends And oh, you did it again And oh, you gonna lean on your friends And oh, you did it again And oh, you gonna lean on your friends And oh, you did it again
