A Rock For The Lyrics

A Rock For The Forgotten lyrics At the firefly we all tell lies And the cleanup kid hangs his head, he s the quiet type Came to la to write but he never made it out of the fringes Keeps a low profile you kick him, he ll smile Thinks blood is his payment for losing While me I m hiding here Pretending that my mind is clear A rock for the forgotten but when I pour they smile And say to me that I m a rock for the forgotten A bottle got broke in a fight over dope And the mean old man washed his hands All the troubles he s seen, seems like a dream While he washes away his sorrow But either way I can tell that he prays There will never be another tomorrow While me, I never change, I try to keep things just the same A rock for the forgotten and when I pour their smiles Say to me that I m a rock for the forgotten Maybe they ll come alive See the soapbox man is at it again And the girls pass by avoiding his eye He s the best there is in the hellfire biz A black belt in the art of babble came from Vera Cruz When a bottle of booze told him he had to rouse the rabble While me I m hiding here Pretending that my mind is clear A rock for the forgotten but when I pour they smile And say to me that I m a rock for the forgotten Maybe they ll come alive
