Pike St./park Slope Lyrics - Harvey Danger

Drive across the country, tell your story walking 

No one's keeping you captive 

In the town that let you down, so sorry 

Blame it on the television, blame it on the company 

Don't blame it on the fundamental fact 

That no one owes you something 

I've come about my share, I only want what's fair 

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not greedy 

Like everybody else, I wanna pay my dues 

I only want someone to tell me who to make the check out to 

Maybe we could run away 

And start a little repertory movie house or something 

She said, "Sorry but I think you might be just projecting 

But here's the dough" 

Pike street to park slope, Brooklyn 

A community of dabblers who are vain 

And fond of biting backs 

We hate it when our friends become successful 

And a different school 

Whose energies are spent evading income tax 

And silicone enhancements by the breastful 

Maybe we could run away 

And start a little repertory movie house or something 

She said, "Sorry but I think you might be just projecting 

On to me, why don't you try L.A.?" 

Pike street to park slope, Brooklyn 

Well when you like something, it's an opinion 

But when I like something, it's a manifesto 

Pomposity is when you always think you're right 

Arrogance is when you know 

Maybe we could 

Start a little independent repertory movie house or something 

She said, "Sorry but I think you might be just protecting 

Your investment or else assigning blame" 

Pike street to park slope, Brooklyn
