The road behind still seemed more tempting than the wasteland of hollow thoughts and
empty dreams that lay outside my hotel room window.
I'd long since given up on having anything known as a comfort zone.
Still although it was hours since we landed still my thoughts rambled like some child as he sits listening to a trains whistle on a long dark night.
My fellow shadows had long since learned a private room was better than a front row seat to
my often insanity spun sideshow of late nights and bitter rants.
It was me and my thoughts a plague of my own creation in full swing and obsecure few
a stiff drink and some good pills kept the thoughts at bay for the moment.
We found areselves in the city of Angels but it reaked more of devils torment and wicked excess.
Hookers cheap sex and some overpriced drugs.
The blood of dreams covered the streets and old starts of the fames lure slept next to the broken and homeless.
Why had I ever came here was it ego?
Or just a good time to flaunt in the face of all thoose caught in the gears of
the day to day grind.
This land of empty thoughts and cursed remakes there was nothing creative bout this scene kids just give your neck to the vampire and pray he yerns for a taste.
Maybe you'll be one in the few or just another hideline.
Fallen star found dead outside some overpriced nightclub.
Me I was here for a gig and nothing more .
To provide some laughs between drinks i had no illusions of fame.
To me I looked in the crystal ball and just saw another cheap snow globe
of nothing more than candy coated lies.
This wasnt my scene it wasnt anyones scene just a playground gone
wrong a wasteland of bad ideas and hollow thoughts.
That made Vegas seem like a good idea at the time.
Neon lights and lost thoughts haunt the hours spent like some
silent witness to a future crime scene and a redlight work of art.
And as I recalled the nights show I tried to forget the faces from behind the lights
that seemed broken by some plastic surgeons wet dream.
Give me women with flaws and unsculpted fools.
Perfect people can have this place that seemed more like a gateway to
a delusion cast hell than screen print paradise.
Course many would paint it diffrent if they held the brush but I wasnt
much of a painter to begin with.
And as tommorow loomed with the smog I packed my suitcase thinking.
If we could just drown half the suits and give it to the miscast freaks
pretending to be superheros for tourist pics what a fucked up
theme park we'd have then.
A few hits and alotta drinks later we were gone and there was no question
If we had left a empression.
Only a weirdo of a much higher degree would wanna leave anything there.
Except maybe a pipe bomb in a suits office bleeding some old franchise
for every drop it was worth.
No my friends the rearview wasnt looked in often.
What did you think of it?
My fellow traveler asked as we counted potholes and passed the bottle
Well it sure wasnt Kansas my friend.
What the f***s in Kansas?
Anything but this f*****g place amigo.
