Don't say a word
The last one's still stinging
Back of my mind
I feel that phone ringing
And there is no way back from this
Everything hits at once
What we need is just what he wants
I go to sleep but think that you're next to me
I go to sleep but think that you're next to me
Don't make a move
When I walk out don't follow me
Out in the car
Can feel it calling me
And oh you're so far away
But I can still change my mind tonight
I gotta change my mind somehow
I go to sleep alone but think that you're next to me
Everything hits at once tonight
Outside is all lit up with ad lights
In traffice we become on the way back home
Part of something bigger than just on our own
I gotta change my mind tonight
I can still change my mind tonight
Merging in traffic cross the lanes and then we become
Something bigger than just anyone
Oh and everything hits at once
What we need is just what he wants
I go to sleep and think that you're next to me
I go to sleep and think that you're next to me

Things everybody would say
Believing is hard
Believing is Art
Things everybody should know
The end will come slow
And love breaks your heart
So welcome to the north side
Where you will see what it means to be standing on line
It's not so out of the way
Just under the east and one stop away
I said that this is a call
Yeah it might be a call
If the world could sit tight for one night
Get out of the car at the corner of nine
Where they take everything and just spit it all out
I'm staying up late at night
To take apart what I said
To make it all sound alright
Waiting now and taking my time
Cause I've seen what it means to be standing on line
This is a call, yeah it might be a call
And the world is alright and alright
Taking your time and I'm standing on line
It depends, it depends, and it comes back again
Yes
They've got my number, they've got me alright
They know my number, they've got me alright
Think about it a while
The end ain't that bad
Tkae out the trash with one hand
It falls apart like a band
Just hold onto it tight
This is a call, it ain't mine, not at all
And the world can sit tight and alright
Taking your time and get right back on line
It depends, it depends, and it comes back again
Yes, things that everybody would say
Believing is hard
Believing is art
Things everybody should know
The end will come slow
And love breaks your heart

There's a girl in my yard
Reading to me my tarot cards
She don't know anything
But she's beautiful to me
My eyes are opening again
I see you as you're marching in
I'll bring you cover when you're cold
You'll bring me youth when I grow old
Do you remember when you were small
How everbody would seem so tall
I am your shadow in the dark
I have your blood inside my heart

I’m On A Straight Line When A Man Comes Around
And He Got Lines In The Suit
Coming Out To Make Us Moot
I'm Moving On Now If I Like It Or Not
He Says I've Got Nowhere To Go
Tell Me Something I Don't Know
He's Painting It Out Like I Don't Want To Know
The Picture Has Come Down
I'm Taking It Off And Throwing It Out
The Picture Is About What Could Have Been Easier
The Picture Is Coming Around Now
How Come I Feel So Washed Up
At Such A Such A Tender Age Now
How Come I Feel So Washed Up
The Picture Is Coming Around Now
It Could Have Been Easier
At Such A Such A Tender Age
I'm Listening To The Comforting Sound
Of Some Kind Of Work Being Done Outside
Of Sounds From Next Door The Walls Don’t Hide
I'm Listening To Mountain To Sound
And The Way It's Panned Is Cool
But When I Get Back Home To You
There's Got To Be Something More Than That Too
The Human Resource Clerk
Has Two Cigarettes And Back To Work
She Eats Right But Hurts
And She Says It Could Have Been Good By Now
It Could Have Been More Than A Wage Yeah
How Come She Feels So Washed Up
At Such A Such A Tender Age Now
It Could Have Been Easier
It Could Have Been More Than A Wage
How Come She Feels So Washed Up At Such A Tender Age
I’m On A Straight Line And A Man Comes Around
And I Got Nowhere To Go
Come Back And Tell Something I Don’t Know
. . .

When I was still growing up and Dad headed off to work
He put coat and tie on over a fitted shirt
Nothing else would fit right
All seams so directly apply
The fitted shirt hung on me
Fitted shirt alright
I long for the days they used to say
Ma'am and yes sir
Now I'm going to find buttons for my
Dad's old used shirt
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
Been looking so long now
And no one's seen and no one's heard
When I go out tonight
I'm gonna put on a fitted shirt
One day it'll take and they'll start to make
Shirts that fit right
Till then i supose I'll stick out dad's clothes
And that's alright
Fitted shirt (x7)

If there's anything you want
Come on back 'cause it's all still here
I'll be in the back room drinking my half of the beer
And if you and me is so right
Why is it the same thing every night?
It's just a matter of time
It's almost measurable
Imagination ain't kind on us
Tonight
You're at you best when you got the guns turned 180 degress
And finding out if it adds all up right
We go through the same lies to sell out to appease
But go to sleep in a bed of lies
I've made my own more than once or twice
And now time is my time
Time is my own
I feel so alive, yet I feel so alone
'Cause you know you're the one and that that hasn't changed
Since you were 19 and still in school
Waiting on a light by the corner by Sound Exchange

Tough Break Handjob Broke It All Right In Two
And It Won’t Get Back Together With Stitches And Glue
And Now That Song’s Been Sung
It’s Just The Cost Of What’s Been Done
The Cost Of Taking A Walk With You
I Can Tell Myself
This Is For All Concerned’s Health
And I May Yet Dot That I
Fill It Up And Pour It Down The Inside
And Tell You All Go And Take A Walk
And I Said All Y’all Go Take A Walk
Tough Break Handjob Sent Me Back Home To Ma
Back To Cowtown And The Fish Shop And The Mall
Oh Yeah It Sent Me Right Back From Where I Came
And In The Interim Nothing Changed
So I May Yet Dot That I
Fill It Up And Pour It Down The Inside
Until You All Go And Take A Walk
And I Said All Y’all Go Take A Walk
. . .

1020 AM 1020 AM
When will I ever see you again
1020 AM
When will I ever see you again
I carry you out
It starts to sink in
When will I ever see you again
You'll be with me now
Ever from now 1020 AM
'Cause I remember everything you did
And I remember everything you did
Everything you were, everything you said
Yeah, I remember everything you did
1020 AM
When will I ever see you again
1020 AM
When will I ever see you again

Now when she went to Chicago that night
She faced a wall
And she woke up outside with all those leaves in her her mouth
And felt the pall
An all night the rain came on down
But then, she'd never been to Chicago at night
Before the fall
And it don't stop not at all
It falls all around
In the city
Hits the ground
And now everybody's at disadvantage
Speaking with their second language
She'd never been there before they went and set up the wall
And though nobody'd expected much from this reinvention
She still broke right down after all
Because she knew that it was all over
And we'd hit a wall
And like the fall this was all
Now it's all around
In the city
On the ground
And now everybody's at disadvantage
Speaking with their second language
And I never been to the wall
Never been to the wall . . .
