Advertisement In The Voice Lyrics

Good Rats Advertisement In The Voice

I teach a class of phony principles of mathematics
In a fine Northeastern school.
I've read the great philosophies of Plato, Christ and
Socrates
And I live by most their rules,

But at 3 o'clock I start to get the blues

I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
Oh it's 3 o'clock, and I'm alone again

I love to listen to the melodies of Bach and Beethoven
And I think Bowie's a gas.
In '68 I worked for Gene and helped bring down the big
machine
And I prayed that it would last

But at 3 o'clock I start to get the blues

I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
Oh it's 3 o'clock, and I'm alone again

I have a 9 room house completly furnished in the best
of taste
And I drive a brand new Porche
I have a Quadraphonic system with complete access to
tapes
And I could be a Santa Claus

But at 3 o'clock I start to get the blues

I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
Oh it's 3 o'clock, and I'm alone again
