Greg Here on the outskirts of life |
|
Dreams seldom come true |
|
Flippin' thru photographs emotional holographs |
|
Cutouts of all the figures you might've been |
|
Reflections of a life that you once lived |
|
As the evening descends |
|
Your conscious of every breath |
|
And every moment is a crisis, |
|
I guess Starin' out the windows of your hotel room |
|
You lit one too many fires underneath that spoon |
|
Well I guess you deserve the chosen few |
|
Real life, just out of view |
|
Well that's just here, |
|
On the outskirts |
|
Yea, that's here, |
|
On the outskirts of your life |
|
And there's a picture we've all seen |
|
It was taken in the lobby of the |
|
L.A. Ambassador |
|
Hotel It's the silhouette of a man in another's arms |
|
So turn off your |
|
TVs, and let that train go home ' |
|
Cause everyone warned you that |
|
California |
|
Wasn't goin' to be the end |
|
California wasn't gonna be the end. |
|
And tell me where can you hide when the whole world is ugly and strange |
|
Yea tell me where you gonna turn when this whole world knows your name |
|
And these four walls are screamin' |
|
And all your friends were so deceiving |
|
Yea you forgot the lines of a part you rehearsed so well |
|
Lyin' awake in the |
|
Brazilian |
|
Court Hotel |
|
But that's just here, |
|
On the outskirts |
|
Yea, that's here |
|
On the outskirts, |
|
Of your life... |
