Good Friends Lyrics By Joni Mitchell

    i have to come and see you
    maybe once or twice a year
    i think nothing would suit me better right now
    than some downtown atmosphere
    in the dance halls and the galleries
    or betting in the otb
    synchronized like magic
    good friends you and me

    the sun goes down in jersey
    rises over little italy
    we could talk it up till the block gets up
    swapping stories
    sitting around in some all night zoo
    watching it run like a movie
    synchronized like magic
    good friends you and me

    no hearts of gold no nerves of steel
    no blame for what we can and cannot feel

    but now it’s cloak and dagger
    walk on eggshells and analyze
    every particle of difference
    gets like mountains in our eyes
    you say you’re unscrupulous
    you say you’re naive
    synchronized like magic
    good friends you and me

    no hearts of gold no nerves of steel
    no blame for what we can and cannot feel

    sometimes change comes at you
    like a broadside accident
    there is chaos to the order
    random things you can’t prevent
    there could be trouble around the corner
    there could be beauty down the street
    synchronized like magic
    good friends you and me

    no hearts of gold no nerves of steel
    no blame for what we can and cannot feel
    no nerves of steel no hearts of gold
    no blame for what we can and can’t control

    good friends you and me
    good friends you and me
