League Of Failures Lyrics - California Years (dig) - Jill Sobule

I once saw it in a book I had 

God was by my side 

My name in lights up there on the marquee 

And God was very proud 

I've been a miner for a heart of gold 

A dreamer who just won't wake up 

I thought I'd plunge into the deepest vein 

It wasn't deep enough 

And I will fall a hundred stories 

And open up my hand 

And scatter all my dreams of glory 

Like seeds upon the land 

Still have your picture on my wall of faith 

Next to the grocery list 

I keep forgetting I should take you down 

I'm gonna take you down

And I will fall a hundred stories 

And open up my hand 

And scatter all my dreams of glory 

Like seeds upon the land 

And I'll join the league of failures 

And I will be resigned 

To fall a hundred stories 

And leave it all behind 

And I will promise to forget the ones 

Who took more than they gave 

At least I'll have some peace of mind 

As I dig their graves 

And on my way down I hope to see 

The one I hurt the most 

Perhaps he'll open up his window 

And we'll fly this ghost 

Photos 

And I will fall a hundred stories 

And open up my hand 

And scatter all my dreams of glory 

Like seeds upon the land 

And I'll join the league of failures 

I bet that I'll be glad 

To fall a hundred stories 

And I'll have peace at last 

And I'll set this house on fire 

And burn the whole thing down 

My laurels turned to ashes 

And I'll still be around
