Memory Lane Lyrics by Elliott Smith

Memory Lane Lyrics

    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
    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
