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
