lucy september's put a hole in her arm
she wonders where all daddy's money's gone
lying on the bed with a wasted friend

oh yeah she could have been someone
with all the advantages under the sun
but sad to say this is where her story ends &


you stare out into space
fall down out of the race

lucy all bound up in etiquette
I remember when we first met
there you stood in your father's clothes

with eyes you could drown in like the marie rose
that looked at me just like my wedding day
if we hadn't been so close

maybe I could forget
though you used it all up
I'm still in debt

and you've found someone else to pay

and you stare out into space

fall down out of the race
lucy, lucy september


where will you go now
summer's over for another year
and the bells start to fade

where will you go now
where will you go now
summer's over for another year

and it won't dry away your tears
september


and you stare out into space
better off out of the race
lucy, lucy september
