Never saw Hendrix, he was gone before I was born
Morrison drank his life away, a rider on the storm
Never saw Ronnie V. or Alan or Steve Gaines
Now that Bonzo's gone, does the song remain the same?
Never saw him, I could only wave goodbye
He was laid to rest by a catcher in the rye
And then I think about those ten years that went by
I don't understand, I'll probably never know why
Chorus:
But what ever happened to Waters and Gilmour?
Two pigs on a wing who missed their own encore
Duck behind, here comes a wrecking ball
Tear down every brick, tear down the whole damn wall
Looked to the dark side of the moon and stars and in-between
It's never quite as dark or lonely as it seems
I breathe in the air and watch the time go by
Everybody's waiting for that great gig in the sky
Well, now the machine has all but gone away
They rode the gravy train right past East L.A.
They hit the strip and then they chartered one more plane
Back across the Atlantic its never been the same
L.A. is my town
I've got the runaround
There's so many people everywhere
There's always something going down
Irvine to Malibu, Venice Beach and Pamona too
Simi Valley and Diamond Bar Tustin, Cypress, and Lincoln Park
Groovin' down Temple Street
Kangaroo boots on my feet
Hiding in an alley and ducking the heat
Cuz I'm caught in a frame and I'm hanging by my feet
Seems once again, I got myself caught in another jam
Got no money and no place to stay, but I'll get myself out somehow some way
Well, Martin's your name and your runnin' a game
Don't matter who you take cuz you got no shame
Suckers are born and you can't be blamed
So you take what you get cuz the money's the same
But, what you gonna do when everybody comes looking for you?
What you gonna do when Gandy comes to collect what's due?
Living a life of fantasy
Living on my TV
Put in a tape and make my escape
From reality
A beat up vet with gambling debts
And bills to pay
I don't have much but what I got
I got my way
A knock at the door, how much more can I endure
A goon with a gun having some fun
Tearing down my front door
Cove Road ...
