Blue Rodeo - Outskirts lyrics

rate me

Lead Vocal by Greg<br />

<br />

Here on the outskirts of life<br />

Dreams seldom come true<br />

Flippin' thru photographs emotional holographs<br />

Cutouts of all the figures you might've been<br />

Reflections of a life that you once lived<br />

<br />

As the evening descends <br />

Your conscious of every breath<br />

And every moment is a crisis, I guess<br />

Starin' out the windows of your hotel room<br />

You lit one too many fires underneath that spoon<br />

Well I guess you deserve the chosen few<br />

Real life, just out of view<br />

<br />

Well that's just here,<br />

On the outskirts<br />

Yea, that's here,<br />

On the outskirts of your life<br />

<br />

And there's a picture we've all seen<br />

It was taken in the lobby of the L.A. Ambassador Hotel<br />

It's the silhouette of a man in another's arms<br />

So turn off your TVs, and let that train go home<br />

'Cause everyone warned you that California<br />

Wasn't goin' to be the end<br />

California wasn't gonna be the end.<br />

<br />

And tell me where can you hide when<br />

The whole world is ugly and strange<br />

Yea tell me where you gonna turn when<br />

This whole world knows your name<br />

And these four walls are screamin' <br />

And all your friends were so deceiving<br />

Yea you forgot the lines of a part you rehearsed so well<br />

Lyin' awake in the Brazilian Court Hotel<br />

<br />

But that's just here,<br />

On the outskirts<br />

Yea, that's here<br />

On the outskirts,<br />

Of your life...
