lyrics

I heard God was at the palace doing a one night stand, so I went out there to see him with my hope in my hand,
He was just a boy of fifteen without much to say, and when he started signing autographs I walked away.

I was standing on a corner by the marketplace when a fellow with some leaflets shoved one right in my face,
Well, he poked me with his bible like it was a loaded gun, and I said, "Whatever it is you're selling, man, I don't want none."

All our superstars are suicidal casualties, and our heroes die in motel rooms and motorcades,
Oh, it seems like all our dreams are only fantasies, and I wonder if we'll learn from the mistakes we made.

I bumped into Mr. Jimi at a London hotel and he said, "Let's get together," but he didn't look well,
When I woke up in the morning all the papers read: "Jimi Hendrix overdosed last night in bed."

All our superstars are suicidal casualties, and our heroes die in motel rooms and motorcades,
Well, it seems like all our dreams turn into tragedies, and I wonder if we'll learn from the mistakes we made.

Now I'm waiting at the bus stop for the bus to arrive, and I know there must be more to life than staying alive,
Well, I don't know where I'm going when I climb in, but it can't be any emptier than where I've been.

(ad lib, fade)

I got Phil's TIME double CD set years ago and two of the songs from this original release are on it, so when I saw his offer to download it, I jumped on the opportunity to hear the rest of the album! andykercher

Another killer album by Phil, checkout full circle. The guitar intro is one reason why Phil is so legendary. Also wished you were there is just so energetic and town to town is a classic as well. The drummer is excellent as well, but anyone who plays with Phil is top notch. He’s had always played with great drummers. Craig Opal
