Lyrics

[Verse 1] I live in Los Angeles There's a lot of missing stares And I walk down the street and I Try to feel a beat in a heart But it's so hard to understand And people walk around in their pretty outfits And people walk around with their pretty girls And everyone's got somewhere And someplace to go And some friends, and some drinks And some things, and some things And I, I once met an older man And he was wholeless and did exactly What she can To get by in this cold world To get by in this cold world [Chorus 1] And he said baby You must stand our stand And he said baby You must stand our stand You're poisoned By everything I loved You're poisoned By everything I loved You're poisoned By everything I loved You're poisoned By everything I loved Everything I loved [Verse 2] I once was a little, tiny girl Yes, like you, I was a little, tiny child With eyes so ready for the world With eyes so ready to cry and lie and die And find that nothing really is free Not the birds, no, nor just the wee little Laughing little bees You made a mockery of me Oh, you made a mockery of me, of me [Chorus 2] And he said baby You must stand our stand And he said baby You must stand our stand You're poisoned By everything you hold You're poisoned By everything you hold You're poisoned By everything you hold You're poisoned By everything you hold By everything you hold
