Major Parkinson - Solitary Home lyrics

Do you remember when you could do anything you wanted to? They said you were the greatest one of the finest girls at the college uptown Do you remember when you could say anything you wanted to say They said you were the smartest one of the brightest girls at the college uptown Hey hey do you remember when you stood in the yard They said the world is right in front of your feet And someday you're gonna meet mr. Marlon Brando, Live in a tango, build up a house of dreams And count the daisies Do you remember when your eyes had a drain There was a guy behind your lashes Showing all the pretty flashes of Humphrey Bogart eating his yoghurt Dining with Norma Jean Do you remember the first time you took a ride On the vertigo pony made of Mahogany Waving to the ducks by the surrogate clown Uptown smashing your leather balls Into the rusty cans shooting rabbits and monkeys Feeding the donkeys Waiting for the days to be blemished in frown Hey hey do you remember when you stood in the aisle Between the rivers that you saw in your dreams, The fainted flashes from kindergarten Swimming in bourbon chasing a big balloon You looked so happy shooting the blind with blanks on medicine square In the obituary rolling stone A metropolitician met Jo DiMaggio Playing arpeggio from the great beyond In the solitary home a woman's talking through a phone With a man who is selling dreams for people who never close their eyes Unless they try to sleep In the solitary home by the TV all alone Her children left her years ago And her husband sails a world of paper souls and silhouettes When time hits the gravity nothing seems to measure up The days, weeks, months, years filling her up Stuck in a commercial Hideous like a dying tiny little puppy Skinny to the bone You bite the bullet twixt the cup and the lip in a monstrous town Where the jingles are fading Every time you try to change the channel Searching for...? You tune in, drop out, trying to shout But no one can hear their own voice when they dream AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH! Hey hey do you remember when you stood in the yard I said the world is right in front of your feet And someday you're gonna meet mr. Marlon Brando Live in a tango, build up a house of dreams And count the dasies Do you remember when your eyes had a drain I was the guy behind your lashes Showing all the pretty flashes of Humphrey Bogart feeding you yoghurt From the great beyond
