Gork Meets the Desert Monster

[Verse 1]
Phillip turns to me and says:
'Is it me, or just the part I play?'
'Having won this industry's accolades, I see no other option
Than to stay in Phoenix'

[Verse 2]
Mother Alice in the grocery store
Looking through the produce like a moving painting
They moved the bank and the parking lot
Taking out the cigarette machine for more seating

[Bridge]
Maybe you'll find your way
Guided by the northern star
You've been away too long
Welcome home where you belong

[Verse 3]
Hard times in the city
I was coughing up a desert and sun
Spending my time pushing tables and lines
Threatening the directors I'd quit

[Verse 4]
Got a call from the payphone on the wall
It was Henry feeling down on the line
Spending my checks, paying my rent
Sleeping on the foldout couch

[Verse 5]
Early to bed
Early to rise
Living my life with blinders on
It's tough to see

[Verse 6]
And early to bed
Early to rise
Living my life with blinders on
It's tough to see
