The Agony of Laffitte
All I ever asked of you was a copy of Garage Days
And to tell me the truth
Aint no one watching you
exit Ventura Highway
Its like I knew two of you man
The one before and after we shook hands
Taking the calls but in all forgetting whats been said
And after dark in a cab in L.A.
Forget about the meter, man these are salad days
Comes on radio
comes on whats being said
Is youre no better than
(Sylvia)
No better than
(Sylvia)
No better than
(Sylvia)
Where you are
(Where youve been)
No better than
(Sylvia, Sylvia)
No better than
(Sylvia)
Where you are
No better than
(Where youve been)
Where you are
And where youve been
And where youve gone, oh no
Heres a mark, hes a mark on the page
Dishing out the wisdom of this reflexive age
Dotting the eyes with an eye for defining what you were
So when you do that line tonight
Remember that it came at a steep price
Keep telling yourself
theres more to you than her
Cause youre no better than
(Sylvia)
no bettere than
(Slyvia)
No better than
(Slyvia)
Where you are
(Where youve been)
No better than
(Slyvia,Slyvia)
No better than
Where you are
(Where youve been)
No better than
Where you are, where you been
And where you gone, oh no
Where you gone, oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
