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
