Elliott Smith – Memory Lane Lyrics  Share

From Elliott Smith's album: From A Basement On The Hill

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
All anybody knows is
You^,re not like them
They hit you in the head
And send you back to bed
Isolation called you and passed a tunnel into a
Bright world where you can rule a place of state
Here^,s a little house for you to stay
But everybody^,s scared of this place
They^,re staying away
Your little house on memory lane
The mayor^,s name is fear
His voice patrols the pier
By a mountain up of cliche
That advances everyday
The doctor speak in clowns
He rings out loud
He^,ll keep the doors and windows shut
And swear
Never join a soul again
But isolation chased you ?til every muscle ached
[ Memory Lane lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elliott-smith/memory-lane/ ]
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
Uncomfortable apart
It^,s all written on my chart
That I take what^,s given to me
Most cooperatively
I do what people say
And lie in bed all day
Absolutely horrified
I hope you^,re satisfied
Isolation pushes past something and chained to
A place where suffering?s 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
