Pike St. / Park Slope

Drive across the country, tell your story walking

No one's keeping you captive in the town that let you down (so sorry)

Blame it on the television, blame it on the company

Don't blame it on the fundamental fact that no one owes you something

I've come about my share, I only want what's fair

Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm not greedy

Like everybody else, I wanna pay my dues

I only want someone to tell me who to make the check out to

Maybe we could run away and start a little repertory movie house or something

She said, "Sorry, but I think you might be just projecting

But here's the dough"

Pike Street, to Park Slope ... Brooklyn

A community of dabblers, who are vain and fond of biting backs

We hate it when our friends become successful

And a different school, whose energies are spent evading income tax

And silicone enhancements by the breastful

Maybe we could run away and start a little repertory movie house or something

She said, "Sorry, but I think you might be just projecting on to me

Why don't you try LA?"

Well, when you like something, it's an opinion

But when I like something, it's a manifesto

Pomposity, is when you always think you're right, arrogance is when you know

Maybe we could start a little independent repertory moviehouse or something

She said, "Sorry, but I think you might be just protecting your investment, or else assigning blame"
