Oh I ^Em7remember Toronto when Mylo went down And we ^Asat and cried on the phone I never felt so ^Em7alone He was the first of our ^Aown ^Em7Some of us go down in a blaze of obscurity ^ASome of us go down in a haze of publicity The ^Em7price of infamy, the edge of ^Ainsanity Another ^Em7Holiday Inn, another temporary home And an i^Anterviewer threatened me with a microphone ^Am7'Talk to me, won't you tell me your ^Astories." So I ^Em7talked about conscience and I talked about pain And he l^Aooked out the window and it started to rain I thought ^Em7maybe I've already gone ^Acrazy So I ^Em7reached for a bottle and he reached for the door And I ^Apicked up the sleeping pills crushed on the floor ^Em7Inviting me to a casual ^Aobscenity.
