Katrina and Paul

They used to live across the hall from me in Hollywood
She waited tables somewhere off of Sunset
He worked when he could
She dealt with pricks from 10 to 6 and then drank it off her mind
He would spend pathetic days in standing in welfare lines

I remember when she told me that she wanted to leave it behind
"Kill this fucking city" and lead a life of crime

He smoked his cigarette until his hands were yellow
And at times the men on the bus, they were more than she could handle
His mom would call and tell him he was nothing
At times he thought she was right
"Let's go out for Chinese food, I don't wanna cook tonight"
There are times I would hear them cry themselves to sleep
Other times it was crazy laughter and that thought I'll keep

And I wish there was something else I could say
So much loneliness it will not go away
My one regret that's at this time
To be at the wrong place at the wrong time
Another place, another time
