don't forget what you've learned all you give is returned
and if life seems absurd what you need is some laughter
and a season to sleep and a place to get clean
maybe los angeles, somewhere no one is expecting
on a detox loft through a glendale park over sidewalk chalk
someone wrote in red, "start over"
so I muffled my scream on an oxnard beach

i'm fallin off
the sidewalk 
cause there's a gutter of news
the marquee's pressin me
with the stockmarket blues
it spells the end
and refrains to say
we're on solid ground
with two feet once again.

eclipsing the sand;
