It’s all you ever asked for,
heaven on the avenue.
Your name is on the pavement,
But everybody walks on by.
You do yourself a favour,
But no one stops to ask you why.
I come down you lock me up in the pretty world of silver screens,
and pull me underneath the circus freaks and beauty queens.
You put your faith in a pretty liar,
You’ll take a walk in the friendly fire with me.
You dance around your bunker,
Living in your Sunday best.
You jumped the ship that sunk ya,
But you forgot to wear a vest.
You’re floating in the court yard,
The promise of a wedding dress.
You’re jumping off the platform,
The tracks will only leave me there.
I come down you lock me up in the pretty world of silver screens,
and pull me underneath the circus freaks and beauty queens.
You put your faith in a pretty liar,
You’ll take a walk in the friendly fire with me.
You put your faith in a pretty liar,
You’ll take a walk in the friendly fire with me.
(Guitar Solo)
You put your faith in a pretty liar,
You’ll take a walk in the friendly fire with me.
