Memory Lane

This is the place you 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 that you’re not like them                               *   And they kick you in the head                     /A /B And send you back to bed *                                                                     Isolation pulled you past a tunnel to a bright world where you can make a place to stay And everybody’s scared of this place and stayin’ away Your little house on memory lane The mayor’s name is fear his force patrols the pier From a mountain of cliche that advances everyday The doctor spoke a cloud he rained out loud                                        * You’ll keep your doors and windows shut and swear you’ll                    /A /B Never tell a soul again *                                                          Isolation pushes you till every muscle aches down the only road it ever takes And everybody’s scared of this place and stayin’ 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 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                   /A /B I hope you’re satisfied *                                                                        Isolation pushes past self-hatred guilt and shame to place where suffering is just a game And everybody’s scared of this place and stayin’ away                            ( riff) Your little house on memory lane                           /G     Your little house on memory lane riff ---------0- -1---1-3--- ---2------- ----------- ----------- -----------
