Lyrics to:
Memory Lane
From From A Basement On The Hill
By Elliott Smith




this is the place you'll 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
you'r* little house on memory lane ---->your
the mayor's name is fear
his voice patrols the pier
from a mountain of cliche
that advances everyday
the doctor spoke of clout*---->spoke A CLOUD
he reigned out loud*----->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
you'r* little house on memory lane---->your
if it's your decision
to be open about yourself
be careful or else
be careful or else
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
