Commoner (Wilton House Demo)

Lyrics

I'm a commoner searching for common ground And I don't like the way things are going down Girls like you sticking around Doing all my dope, and I just can't cope With Silver Lake anymore And people sleeping on my floor And mascara on the sheets And Joshua's just a mess Helped him get here I confess But I think it's just about time for him to leave 'Cause I can't see the goddamn TV screen Through all this pistol smoke And the constant rigmarole He says he's gonna kick it one of these days It's Halloween again I wish I had a girlfriend But everybody's dressing up and I'm crazy It's Halloween again Everybody's got a girlfriend Everybody's dressing up but me And Tara's all the rage She thinks so anyway She's got a director at her house And she ain't ashamed to tell you about All the films that she used to do But she's working on something new She had a nervous breakdown, innit that sad? (Well, it happens) And I'm just sitting here And I miss you when you're clear And I wish you'd come back sometime soon 'Cause I'm losing hope and you're counting balloons And the future's looking bleak I want to move on onto Deer Creek Where they got something for a guy like me It's Halloween again I wish I had a girlfriend And everybody's dressing up and I'm crazy It's Halloween again Everybody's got a girlfriend And everybody's dressing up but me And there's a love between us And there's a hell below us And when you're on a mission Don't forget who cares about you Just like I promised too I promise you It's Halloween again I wish I had a girlfriend And everybody's dressing up and I'm crazy It's Halloween again Everybody's got a girlfriend And everybody's dressing up (But me) Everybody's dressing up now It's Halloween again And I'll dress up for you if you want me to 'Cause I ain't willing to bend But I'm willing to break down with you It's Halloween again Now I got a girlfriend She's a good dawn I'm a commoner searching for common ground And I don't like the way things are going down Girls like you sticking around Doing all my dope and I just can't cope With Silver Lake anymore And people sleeping on my floor Guess she wants someone a lot like you
