Erik Hodges songs
The rain washed up the city streets so well
It's a shame it had to ruin your brand new suit
You've only been here tree short months
playing hardball with a bunch of common brutes
and the way they judged you from day one
and made you jump through all those hoops and such
I guess that when you're far from home
the winning and the loseing dosn't mean as much
*And deep down inside there's an ache that you've been carrying
a distant and detatched kind of pain
and as you walk alone down that hallway full of men of stone
you realize it smells like rain
it smells like rain
you've been down this path before
at the office, the movies, the grocery store
you feel just a little bit on stage
and you wonder if they understand that underneigth the makeup
there is something that feels a lot like rage
And this puzzle just gets harder as you climb that lousy ladder
you see so many peices out of place
you don't like to lose but they don't want you to win
and now you wonder why you bother with this race*
In the morning you awake resigned to all the slings and arrows
that await you at nine o one
You've forgotten why you came here and why you left your family
hell you even miss the feeling of the sun
and as for any lover well lately you've discovered
there's just no room in your cold hard heart
you're a player among players and the whole wide world is watching
but you only want to play another part*
It's a shame it had to ruin your brand new suit
You've only been here tree short months
playing hardball with a bunch of common brutes
and the way they judged you from day one
and made you jump through all those hoops and such
I guess that when you're far from home
the winning and the loseing dosn't mean as much
*And deep down inside there's an ache that you've been carrying
a distant and detatched kind of pain
and as you walk alone down that hallway full of men of stone
you realize it smells like rain
it smells like rain
you've been down this path before
at the office, the movies, the grocery store
you feel just a little bit on stage
and you wonder if they understand that underneigth the makeup
there is something that feels a lot like rage
And this puzzle just gets harder as you climb that lousy ladder
you see so many peices out of place
you don't like to lose but they don't want you to win
and now you wonder why you bother with this race*
In the morning you awake resigned to all the slings and arrows
that await you at nine o one
You've forgotten why you came here and why you left your family
hell you even miss the feeling of the sun
and as for any lover well lately you've discovered
there's just no room in your cold hard heart
you're a player among players and the whole wide world is watching
but you only want to play another part*
