Pour out the wine, little girl I've got just two friends in this whole wide world Here's to reckless lovers We all need somebody Stashed in the yellow Jag I've got my life and laundry in a Gladstone bag You should know the program Just one red rose and a tender goodbye [One last goodbye] Then I run to the second arrangement It's only the natural thing La Roué steps out with no regrets A sparkling conscience, a new address Then I run to the second arrangement The home of a mutual friend Now's the time to redefine the first arrangement again It's a sticky situation A serious affair I must explain it to you somehow Right now I'll just move back one square Here comes that noise again Another scrambled message from my last best friend Something I can dance to A song with tears in it Old friends abandon me It's just the routine politics of jealousy Someday we'll remember That one red rose and one last goodbye [One last goodbye] [Chorus] The Second Arrangement (demo) Pour out the wine, little girl We got just two friends in this whole wide world, Ciao, bon giorno, baby It's been a lovely night, the wine was right, I am a refugee, And I like things just the way they used to be, I'm the same damn fool, that you knew years ago, So broken-hearted, One last goodbye [Chorus:] Then I run to the second arrangement It's only the natural thing The roue steps out, with no regrets, A sparkling conscience, a new address Then I run to the second arrangement, The home of a mutual friend, Now's the time, to redefine The first arrangement again You think you understand, Let me take you by your hand, I have never felt this way before, It's your thing if you say so, Don't ask me 'cause I don't know, I don't need this heartache anymore Pour out the wine, little girl We got just two friends in this whole wide world, Ciao, bon giorno, baby It's been a lovely night, the wine was right, I am a refugee, And I like things just the way they used to be, I'm the same damn fool, that you knew years ago, So broken-hearted, One last goodbye [Chorus]
