Memory Lane Lyrics - From A Basement On The Hill - Elliott Smith

This is the place you 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 

Your little house on Memory Lane

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

The mayor's name is fear 

His force patrols the pier 

From a mountain of cliche 

That advances everyday 

The doctor spoke a cloud 

He rained 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 

Your little house on Memory Lane 

If it's your decision 

To be open about yourself 

Be careful or else 

Be careful or else 

Photos 

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
