ELLIOTT SMITH - Memory Lane lyrics

rate me

this is the place you'll end up when you lose the chase

where you're dragged against your will

from a basement on the hill

and all anybody knows is you're not like them

and they kick you in the head

and send you back to bed

isolation pulled you passed a tunnel to a bright world

where you can make a place to stay

but everybody's scared of this place

they're staying away

you'r little house on memory lane

the mayor's name is fear

his voice patrols the pier

from a mountain of cliche

that advances everyday

the doctor spoke of clout

he reigned out loud

"you'll keep your doors and windows shut

and swear you'll never show a soul again"

but isolation pushes you ‘til every muscle aches

down the only road it ever takes

but everybody's scared of this place

they're staying away

you 'r little house on memory lane

if it's your decision

to be open about yourself

be careful or else

be careful or else

I'm comfortable apart

it's all written on my chart

and i take what's given me

most cooperatively

i do what people say

and lie in bed all day

absolutely horrified

i hope you're satisfied

isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt and shame

to a place where suffering is just a game

but everybody's scared of this place

they're staying away

your little house on memory lane

your little house on memory lane
