Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast, faces pass
And I'm homebound
Starin' blankly ahead
Just makin' my way
Makin' a way through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?

On the dark side of my 30s, all my baggage at the Hyatt
High in the museum, trying to be quiet
Peanuts in the bleachers, rings surrounding Saturn
Cutting down a redwood, noticing a pattern

I like looking at the landscapes, women wearing big hats
That's just a clusterfuck of

On our initial descent into Chicago
Katie leans over my lap
Looking out the window
For a glimpse of the house we were kids in
She says: I hated it then
But now I kind of miss it
Shirts in the microwave, trash in the sink
Quarters in a mason jar for every time she smok

Betty, I won't make assumptions
About why you switched your homeroom, but
I think it's 'cause of me
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
When I passed your house
It's like I couldn't breathe

You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says

A black cat stretched out in the window yawning
Quiet sunny morning
I don't know where to draw the line anymore
Please don't be mad
Don't be mad

Throwing roses in the door as it closes
That's showbiz
Fishing pocket change out of a fountain
Takes confidence
I

Beautiful losers, necessary evil
This is the church, this is the steamroller
Blackout curtains, light pollution
Blank checks and reluctant muses

The easy way's impossible
You don't have to do anything you don't wanna do
You don't have to do anything you don't wanna do</

Speeding down Pacific Coast Highway
Didn't know you lost the cherry till it burned your leg
When you jerked the wheel, we almost died
I started laughing so hard I had to hold my side
You were like an older sibling to the scene
Turned everybody onto SST
Found out you were

Creature feature
Smoking underneath the bleachers
Said he hooked up with a teacher
And ruined her life

We may be related
But he's not my brother, I'll just say it
It's impossible for me to fake it
Or change my mind

You are a mystery to me
That is no myster

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come to look for a king

California's beautiful
I bet some people don't think so
I take a lap around the hotel
I take a picture of myself

You changed your hair, you changed your name
Your accent people can't quite place
Your second marriage, couple of kids
You say it isn't different but it

You idiots in
Your leather jackets and glasses
You know I could still kick all your asses

Harry, I had a thought
If I dust the old ax off
Maybe we could give this thing a real shot

Let’s get the old band back together again
Let’s get back in the room and let the m

The fall was pretty nasty
On that we can agree
But they're never really clean and sometimes neither is the break
And by the time I left you
The room looked like a bruise
A curtain breached with pink and blue light
Wash across your face

But is it so unforgivable

We sit in the car outside your house you're quiet
I can feel the heat coming around
I go to put my arm around you
And you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
You let out one of your bored sighs
Well, lately when I look into your eyes

I'm goin' down, down, down, do

Unbelievable
That's what you said
Well I did the whole bag
While you slept but I paid for it
And I know you did too
That you must not want it if you'd rather snooze

So I made a made a little mess
Yes, alright it was a trainwreck
And that's just what I did
An

Out here
Can barely see my breath
Surrounded
By jealousy and death
I can't be reached
I only had one call
Dragged underneath
Separate from you all

This time
I've lost my own return
In spite of
Everything I learned
I hid my tracks
Spit out all

Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream, she said
The one that makes me laugh, she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it, and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

Spinn

I could've told you they loved you
From the way they stood still
But I hope you didn't notice
And that you never will

It isn't hard to imagine
You won't need me someday
Cause I know something that you don't
You never did anyway

Our love's already
Begun to

Bobby helped me track you down 'cause
I just saw your name in the paper
You said: Of course that reminded you of me
Don't you know that's how a name works?
I know you don't have to forgive me
Hell, you probably shouldn't
I got scared and I took off
I wanted to try but

I was new in town, kinda goth
I met you in the science quad
You asked if I had any pot
We're going up to Mikey's spot

Covering important ground
I tried cocaine in my cousin's house
Yeah, I'm probably addicted now
The things that children lie about

I didn't not

Good afternoon chris
Do you mind if I call you that?
See, me and my partner here
Have just a few questions to ask

We are here today
On official good person business
Regarding calls that we received
From an anonymous witness

So you've been right here all along<
