Dirty in the ground is what I need
I got another one to tell you
and another one to make you believe
pity in the grass tried to be
the one you needed when I told you
that you wanted something bigger than me
I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
and I know they don't want me to stay
I said that I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
and I know they don't want me to stay
'cause you are not alive
when I need you
I need it quickly
in case you never know
I can't play where I'm not supposed to anyway
dirt in the ground is what I see
I need another reason why
I need another reason, tell me to breathe
the dirtier the sound, the best I breathe
I tried to do it all for you
it didn't do anything for me
'cause I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
and I know they don't want me to stay
I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
and I know they don't want me to stay
and you and I will find
that when I need you
I need it quickly
in fact, you'll never know
I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
and I know they don't want me to stay
I said that I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
and I know they don't want me to stay.
The first line of the song is DIRTY ON THE GROUND IS WHITE ON ME which means that he is so dark that something that looks dirty on the ground would look white up against him.
