Lyrics |
You're my flesh and blood But we're not the same A common name And now A common distance
I looked up to you In your plush armchair Respect or fear I couldn't see the difference
Lay your wager down Who'll be king in tinsel town? `cause all the prophets and the gypsies On the strip in venice beach Have looked me in the eye And said, "your dreams still lie in reach" And who am i to doubt them And who are you To write these speeches?
Is it my poverty That brings a blush to you? Or the honesty That speaks the mind That comes with it
Were you once a man With younger eyes A hungry pride That would not feel Resistance?
Lay your wager down They're crowning the king in tinsel town There are strangers, there are lovers Out on fairfax in a line They look me in the eye And say "our thoughts are intertwined" And who am i to doubt them? And who are you to tear down These signs?
