Parallel Universe Blues Lyrics

When greeted by the extra version of yourself
You oughta shake hands
Beneath the marquee there on Sandstone Street
With Linda Ronstadt fans

When she says, “Keep my name out of your mouth”
With a wink and a frown
You fall
Hard

I looked frantically for the word that I heard
But it didn't match
‘Til I realized that I was looking at the wrong page
And we laughed at that

Offshore, the word caught On the crest of a wave I'd found
Then disappeared without a trace
Without a sound

Oh, but suddenly I realized I was alive
But only ‘cause I was the other guy

They'll keep you down just as long as they know how
With their knowhow
But you change the rules when you engage them
On their own terms, in their own words
But try as you might
You fall
Hard
