Do you miss me? Tell me, do you miss me? The movie's painting illusions for the fantasizing minds It turns out all the shining things smoke and mirrors I spent my savings chasing dreams But just to come find that nothing ever is as it appears The L.A. sunshine is not that warm The New York streets are cold and mean Paris doesn't want you there And London is not like what you see In movies or in TV shows They paint a picture framed in chrome They sell a vision made in gold and glasses made of plastic Money, drugs, spilling seed All the things a man could need But there's a pit in my stomach When you're not with me Adulation, fame and praise All the sunshine in L.A. But there's a pit in my stomach When you're not with me I found myself in crowded rooms The loneliest in my whole life I sat along the brightest starts But I still haven't seen the light Pharmacies have pills for pain Therapies have words for ears Doctors have those lollipops Only you can calm my fears And fancy bars in shrouded rooms They whisper 'til your ear drums bleed They tickle all your fantasies But they can never get you what you need The boring Tuesdays on the couch The quiet Sundays in the bar The Farmer's Market Saturday Take me where you are Money, drugs, spilling seed All the things a man could need But there's a pit in my stomach When you're not with me (Oh) Adulation, fame and praise All the sunshine in L.A. But there's a pit in my stomach When you're not with me (Oh) Do you miss me like I miss you? Am I standing in your windshield, or am I in your rear view Said, "Do you miss me like I miss you?" Am I standing in your windshield, or am I in your rear view Money, drugs, spilling seed All the things a man could need But there's a pit in my stomach When you're not with me (Oh) Adulation, fame and praise All the sunshine in L.A. But there's a pit in my stomach When you're not with me (Whoa) (Yeah, yeah, do you miss me?) (Everything else is for words) Money, drugs, spilling seed All the things a man could need But there's a pit in my stomach When you're not with me Adulation, fame and praise All the sunshine in L.A. But there's a pit in my stomach When you're not with me
