Simon Joyner - Homebase lyrics

When you're up on your pedestal They say the moon is on the present. And when you're down in the rut they say The blues are self-evident. When you rummage through your purse They say she ll never escape through there. You're the queen of this bar and this neighborhood. This is your turf. I don't belong here. Hid and seek and seek and save my place. I spy a barfly sitting down to grace. Homebase Homebase When you're up on your pedestal They say she looks just like Grace Kelly. When you're groveling on your swivel-stool They take their turns with a machete. The apple of their bloodshot eyes. The bu*t of the collective joke Goes bumming lights where none are lit, And manages to salvage a smoke. Hide and seek and seek and hide your face. I spy a barfly flickering by my homebase.
