Alameda (Alternate Version)

[Verse 1]

You walk down Alameda

Shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone

Here come the precious only son

Face down, bow to the champion

[Verse 2]

You walk down Alameda

Looking at the cracks in the sidewalk

Thinking about your friends

How you maintain all them in

A constant state of suspense

[Chorus]

For your own protection over their affection

See what you're gonna start

All you're good at now is breaking your own heart

[Verse 3]

I'm on Alameda

Brushing off the nightmares you wish could

Plague me when I'm awake

So now, you see your first mistake

Was thinking that you could relate

For one or two minutes, she liked you

But the fix is in

[Chorus]

You're all pretension, I never pay attention

See what you're gonna start

All you're good at now is breaking your own heart

See what you're gonna start

All you're good at now is breaking your own heart

See what you're gonna start

All you're good at now is breaking your own heart

See what you're gonna start

If you're alone it must be you who wants to be apart
