Guy Kyser)



You'll get what you expected from your 18-dollar home

The worth of having cheated and the rage of being alone



There was a year when days and hours flew

And I gained an hour when I moved out here with you

Out of all the thousands I wasted on you

You'll have the time to break in your 18-dollar home

To feel the worth of cheating and the rage of being alone



Your walls are bare like all the walls you've known

Your room's the same as dozens you have known

Taken more than a table and chairs to make a home

But you have two things to furnish your 18-dollar home

The worth of having cheated and the rage of being alone



Your window is your prehistoric eye

Your window is your prehistoric eye

Go ahead and watch those dinosaurs roll by

Companions you can turn on in your 18-dollar home

The worth of having cheated and the rage of being alone



Well I woke up on the gravel garound

At the feet of a long tall train

Remembering not where I was from

Remembering not my name



I thought of friends from years ago

In a youth I'd thrown away

And a girl who used to love me so

Though I couldn't recall her face



Then I realized I was only drunk

And the years were stripped away

I felt like a widower stoned and watching

A filml of his wedding day



She ran to the car with a t-shirt on

Her face as sad as the moon

Well I was lsot and I was bummed

By the ghost of yet to come
