LYRICS:

This is the place you end up when you lose the chase

Where you're dragged against your will from a basement on the hill

And all anybody knows is you're not like them

And they kick you in the head and send you back to bed

Isolation pulled you past a tunnel

To a bright world where you can make a place to stay

But everybody's scared of this place, they're staying away

Your little house on Memory Lane

The mayor's name is fear

His force patrols the pier

From a mountain of cliche

That advances every day

The doctor spoke a cloud

He rained out loud

You'll keep your doors and windows shut

And swear you'll never show a soul again

But isolation pushes you 'til every muscle aches

Down the only road it ever takes

But everybody's scared of this place, they're staying away

Your little house on Memory Lane

If it's your decision to be open about yourself

Be careful or else

Be careful or else

I'm comfortable apart

It's all written on my chart

And I take what's given me

Most cooperatively

I do what people say and lie in bed all day

Absolutely horrified

I hope you're satisfied

Isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt, and shame

To a place where suffering is just a game

But everybody's scared of this place, they're staying away

Your little house on Memory Lane

Your little house on Memory Lane
