Lakeside View Apartments Suite

Downtown north past the airport
 A dream in switchgrass and concrete
 Three gray floors of smoky windows
 Facing the street
 Michael pulls the blinds back up
 Stares blankly at the intersection
 Watching for the guy who's got the angel dust
 Crystal clear connection
 Days like dominoes
 All in a line
 We cheer for the home team every time
 Lakeside View, Lakeside View
 Lakeside View for my whole crew
 ♪
 Most nights now sleep in the kitchen
 Keep my face cool on the floor
 And John, John comes by to drop off his envelopes
 Still playing postman after all these years
 Pull down my army surplus jacket
 Dig through some drawers to find the keys
 Emerge transformed in a million years
 From days like these
 Under each eye little greasepaint smudge
 You can't judge us, you're not the judge
 Lakeside View, Lakeside View
 Lakeside View for my whole crew
 ♪
 And just before I leave
 I throw up in the sink
 One whole life recorded
 In disappearing ink
 ♪
 And Ray left a message thumb tacked to the door
 I don't even bother trying to read them anymore
