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 Drama There was always so much drama
