Love (The Barren Desert) |
| You went East to New York, and I stayed in L.A. |
| You wanted a brownstone and I wanted my own way |
| You were drawn by the neon, when I wanted to play |
| Just wanted to play |
| I guess I’m California, and you’re just Broadway |
| I tuned out on romance, pushed it to one side |
| I don’t believe in happiness when love is genocide |
| And love, the barren desert, we’ve all come to thirst |
| Loyalty’s a mirage, caring just a curse |
| Storms keep blowing through the bones of another man |
| And the sands of time keep slipping through |
| Hearthless empty hands |
| And they say get out, get out of the house |
| I say I take it as it comes along |
| Get a slice of life on the streets tonight |
| I’ll just fit in where I feel I belong |
| I can feel like a martyr, you feel like a stone |
| You danced with an actor, me I danced all alone |
| Hearts are captured easy and you had mine so long, so long |
| I guess you’re Louis Vouitton, and I’m just Tuscon |
| I can’t change my habits, I guess that’s what counts |
| But he who rides the tiger, never dismounts |
