Cruel Companion

Drama
There was always so much drama
Everybody said I oughta
Write a book about it all

Trauma
Yeah, the doctor called it trauma
I was pinned up like Madonna
With my face against the wall

Some I remember
Some I forget
Some of those memories are better off dead
Scatter 'em over the Laurel Canyon
You know truth can be a cruel companion
Kids are rewriting the history lesson
Sometimes a lie leaves a better impression
Scatter 'em over the Laurel Canyon
You know truth can be a cruel companion

Reflex
Drinking 80 proof to de-stress
In a hot tub down on Van Ness
We would watch a pink sun rise

We used to rule the East side
Where the velvet ropes was waist high
I lost my mind

Some I remember
Some I forget
Some of those memories are better off dead
Scatter 'em over the Laurel Canyon
You know truth can be a cruel companion
Kids are rewriting the history lesson
Sometimes a lie leaves a better impression
Scatter 'em over the Laurel Canyon
You know truth can be a cruel companion

Change your name and change your life
You can fake your age and buy some time
Or lay your body on the line
Hiding from the daylight
Living for the limelight
Guess I was born in the wrong time

Mirrors
It's all smoke and mirrors
But now I'm seeing clearer
I can even walk right through

Some I remember
Some I forget
Some of those memories are better off dead
Scatter 'em over the Laurel Canyon
You know truth can be a cruel companion
Kids are rewriting the history lesson
Sometimes a lie leaves a better impression
Scatter 'em over the Laurel Canyon
You know truth can be a cruel companion
