Another victim of the rise and fall. Standing naked in the pastures where we graze. Sterile in a darkened pall. Picking pockets of the strangers all the way.
Like the light from a dying ember. A familiar melody. Another gift returned to sender. Such a bittersweet memory. I thought I'd finally broken even. But I was never in the game.
Everything that isn't from my time and place. Just fades away. And I know it's only my perception. That clouds the things I want to hear you say. All the years of desperation.

You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi. You can sell your soul and lay the blame all on the passers-by. You shake your body on the TV screen.
I've been lost and now found my way. Take me down and save, show me the way. Take me places that I want to stay. Here's to today, here's to today. . I've been knocked but now I'm on my feet.
Keep on kickin' shit. Keep runnin' off the rails. Keep on pickin' the dirt. From 'neath your fingernails. . 'Cause I'm not worried. About your state of mind.
Lolita, Roxanne, needs a man. Lolita, Roxanne, needs a man. She's comin' home, there's been an affair. Abandoned by all her friends. Critisizin', analyzin', got her in an empty bed again.
First you sit in your room and you're thinking. and you find out the ceiling isn't high. Then you jump out your window and you're falling. and you find out the floor was not the sky.
