lyrics

I come from a long way away
I too want my story told
Who will be the one to tell it
Who will be the one to let it unfold
Won’t you listen to my story
Let me have my moment of glory

Who will defend the Westender
Who will remember me when I’m gone
Who will defend the Westender
This resident of this low-rent Babylon

There was a place I called my home
Where the sheets were all hanging on the line
It was sketchy but it had its charms
Even in its state of elegant decline
Now it is lost to the past
And its memory is fading fast

I am all but forgotten
Hidden beneath these gleaming towers
Who can remember who I once was
Before being crushed by the superpowers

I come from a long way away
And I don’t have a name
Here is a tiny fleck of my flesh
From the place from whence I came
If you dig beneath the dirt
You will reveal a hidden hurt
