The Return of Lola

Walking up the stairs, stairs that never end
 This is where my journey begins
 Kicking
 An old tin can
 Driving around in a big yellow van
 With everything you want
 And nothing that you need
 Nobody comes here
 Everybody leaves
 I can see your face through the crack in the door
 You say
 Hello stranger come on in
 You never did quite make it as a prodigal son
 But you know I'm always here when all is said and done
 But let me take you right back to where my story begins
 Where the river runs deep
 And the black line ends
 I go to work every day and I play my part
 But when I get back home
 I'm afraid of the dark
 So I could use some company
 I am the people downstairs
 That you never see
 And there's a nail in your heart
 And a heart in your eye
 And it's looking at me
 Glowing in the night
 And I can feel its heat burning on my skin
 You know there's no way out
 Only one way in
 And you know this song
 Every part of it
 You are the singer and the writer
 And you star in it
 So let me take you right back to where my story begins
 Where the river runs deep
 And the black line ends
