Friends Of Friends
Navigating Urban Echoes: Hospitality's Friends Of Friends
Lyrics
I don't wanna go
I prefer not to go
Down to fourteenth street
To the area around 14th street
In old New York
In the historical part of New York City
I'd rather be home
I'd rather stay at home
But it's all the same
Despite the similarity of experiences
Crowded bars and planes
In crowded bars and on planes
New Amsterdam and Old Richmond
Referring to both the old and new parts of the city
I just called, and your girlfriend's coming home
I called, and your girlfriend is on her way home
But you've got friends that are new friends
You have friends who are recent acquaintances
And friends that are old friends
And friends who have been around for a long time
And friends lookin' out
Friends who are watchful and caring
Got a cheap dress on
Wearing an inexpensive dress
With a wrinkled sleeve
With a creased sleeve
My hat and glove
Items of clothing, possibly symbolizing self-presentation
My money please
Request for money or resources
Or we might just go
Or else, we might leave
With a burnt black air
In a somber or serious atmosphere
I'd rather be home
Preferably at home where the speaker feels comfortable
My president's there
The speaker's home, perhaps implying stability
When I call, you don't pick up anymore
You don't answer when I call anymore
But I've got friends that are new friends
I have friends who are recent acquaintances
And friends that are old friends
And friends who have been around for a long time
And friends lookin' out
Friends who are watchful and caring
When I call, you don't pick up anymore
You don't answer when I call anymore
But I've got friends that are new friends
I have friends who are recent acquaintances
And friends that are old friends
And friends who have been around for a long time
And friends lookin' out
Friends who are watchful and caring
