Red Headed Stepchild by Golden Smog

Album: Down By The Old Mainstream
(murphy, perlman)
Hello darkness, come on in
Let me light a candle
Imaginations running
Hands start to tremble
Knows enough to know not to believe
Wha's real, and what it seems to be
Knows what's keeping him from being free
Right outside your door
Chorus:
Don't run away, red headed stepchild
I can only promise you won't find your way back home
In another room there's laughing
Entertaining strangers
Walls in there don't breathe no more
But they're keeping out some angels
Laughed so much, he almost cried
Stranger offers him a ride
City blocks roll on by
Never coming back
(chorus)
Take your pictures off my wall
I hate to look at strangers
Then it's burning be forewarned
Keep me out of danger
Knows enough to know not to believe
What is real, and what it seems to be
Knows what's keeping him from being free
Right outside your door
(chorus)
(chorus)
Find your way back home
