lyrics

The sunset sky
he's leaving your home town behind
The pine trees fade
Tiny cars on their way

They're almost there
Almost where?

What do you call the fear of being forgotten
What if no one remembers your name?
What if we are just the food for the cotton
The roots of the garden one day

Does it frighten or free us
to think the world doesn't need us
at all?

The valley is wide
You can see the lights from the sky
The silent shimmering earth
Another young fool takes his turn

And arrives at LAX
With a kick drum in his chest

What do you call the fear of being forgotten?
What if no one remembers your name?
What if we are just the food for the cotton
The roots of the garden one day

Does it frighten or free us
to think the world doesn't need us?

And out memoirs
And our cave our
Our walk of fame star
Our trophy wall
Everybody's walking away
and nobody knows what to say
Except to make it clear
By God I was here

Hollywood knows
Where the stars really go
and it's not where you think
But the parking is free
I'm not being clever when I say
Hollywood forever

What do you call the fear of being forgotten
What if no one remembers our name?
What if we are just the food for the cotton
The roots of the garden one day
But we'll honk our horn
And forget that we were born naked
