Joni Mitchell — Good Friends

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] No hearts of gold, no nerves of steel No blame for what we can and cannot feel [Verse 3] 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 naïve!" Synchronized like magic Good friends, you and me [Chorus] No hearts of gold, no nerves of steel No blame for what we can and cannot feel [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Good friends, you and me Good friends, you and me
