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 And you stare 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
