Not Your Place
Thought it would be nice to have a friend like you
Wish I'd known then what you'd put me through
Buzzin' round your head were fancies of fame
And when the pieces fell you laid the blame
You promise your whores diamond rings
Leave them with obsidian sting
And you boast the sores that you've caught
With looks like yours you can't go wrong
And you act like you never really cared
You close your mind to the times we shared
Write me off without a thought
Like the words you call songs
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
And you sing of hearts while you think of stones
You speak for love but you live alone
You've built your tower hard as steel
You're a fading flower that will never heal
And you tell me to reflect on my fallen soul
While you turn up the heat because you got so cold
There's no sun in winter for those who don't feel
Your only flame is the devil in your head
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
You act like a friend while the profits are good
Then you stab me in the back, as if you could
Your ignorant bliss won't help you play guitar
You're star-struck, friend and you'll never go far
And now that all's been said and done
This book is through, a new one begun
I want you to know that I wish you well
But thank you and goodnight
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
This is not your home
Well, this is not your place
This is not your place
And this is not your home
This is not your home
And this is not your place
This is not your place
Wish I'd known then what you'd put me through
Buzzin' round your head were fancies of fame
And when the pieces fell you laid the blame
You promise your whores diamond rings
Leave them with obsidian sting
And you boast the sores that you've caught
With looks like yours you can't go wrong
And you act like you never really cared
You close your mind to the times we shared
Write me off without a thought
Like the words you call songs
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
And you sing of hearts while you think of stones
You speak for love but you live alone
You've built your tower hard as steel
You're a fading flower that will never heal
And you tell me to reflect on my fallen soul
While you turn up the heat because you got so cold
There's no sun in winter for those who don't feel
Your only flame is the devil in your head
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
You act like a friend while the profits are good
Then you stab me in the back, as if you could
Your ignorant bliss won't help you play guitar
You're star-struck, friend and you'll never go far
And now that all's been said and done
This book is through, a new one begun
I want you to know that I wish you well
But thank you and goodnight
This is not your place
This is not your home
This is not your place
This is not your home
Well, this is not your place
This is not your place
And this is not your home
This is not your home
And this is not your place
This is not your place
