[00:18.63] This is the place you end up
[00:20.30] When you lose the chase
[00:22.17] Where you're dragged against your will
[00:24.26] From a basement on the hill
[00:26.96] And all anybody knows is
[00:28.99] You're not like them
[00:31.13] And they kick you in the head
[00:33.96] And send you back to bed
[00:36.70] Isolation pulled you past a tunnel to a bright
[00:40.57] World where you can make a place to stay
[00:44.98] But everybody's scared of this place
[00:47.81] They're staying away
[00:49.69] Your little house on memory lane
[00:54.11] The mayor's name is fear
[00:56.26] His voice patrols the pier
[00:58.30] From a mountain of cliche
[01:00.43] That advances every day
[01:03.40] The doctor spoke a cloud
[01:05.37] He rained out loud
[01:06.99] You'll keep your doors and windows shut
[01:09.80] And swear you'll never show a soul again
[01:12.13] But isolation pushes you 'til every muscle aches
[01:16.90] Down the only road it ever takes
[01:21.35] But everybody's scared of this place
[01:24.90] They're staying away
[01:25.96] Your little house on memory lane
[01:28.93] If it's your decision
[01:29.97] To be open about yourself
[01:33.24] Be careful or else
[01:35.56] Be careful or else
[01:40.78] I'm comfortable apart
[01:42.75] It's all written on my chart
[01:44.82] That I take what's given me
[01:47.10] Most cooperatively
[01:49.77] I do what people say
[01:51.67] And lie in bed all day
[01:53.72] Absolutely horrified
[01:56.78] I hope you're satisfied
[01:58.89] Isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt and shame
[02:02.92] To a place where suffering's just a game
[02:08.20] But everybody's scared of this place
[02:10.66] They're staying away
[02:12.60] Your little house on memory lane
[02:19.50] Your little house on memory lane
