From the recording Dancing Shoes
A singer's journey of the struggle between a successful career and the joy of a settled life. Continually pushing himself into humiliation and running away from the feelings that tear at him throughout the progression.
Lyrics
Here I stand on a curb of desperation in a town that'll chew you out alive
Better leave when you're singing to the window, indicates you over spent your time
Channeling a lie, channeling a lie, down and out I'm simply moving on
On a limb that'll reach out to the future, giving nothing I can leave behind
In a memory somewhere long forgotten, I've been waiting to the better times
Channeling a lie, channeling a lie, down and out I'm simply rolling on
Been a while since I came on down from the mountain
But I keep on running and I'm only living a lie
I got a limousine and a one way ticket to Franklin, I wanna make a move and settle into a life
Even now as I saw out aspiration, I'm in a lid of a jar that I'm inside
Need a hand and a love of understanding, but I'm gonna choose my hog and ride
Channeling a lie, channeling the lie, down and out I'm simply moving on
Been a while since I came on down from the mountain
But I keep on running and I'm only living a lie
I got a limousine and a one way ticket to Memphis (Denver, London) I wanna make a move and settle into a life
