Constance (Angeline) 03:43
lyrics

I saw you walking down the stairs Stayed in the shadows so you wouldn't see me there Saw you fall into the mirror again Yesterday night Don't give up without a fight I saw you trip into the street Lights never lit up for you But they died for me Saw you fall along the wayside Yesterday night You gave up without a fight Angeline Stay close to me Angeline Stay close to me Tonight Saw your dad the other day Drowning in his beer he didn't know what to say I met your mom along that schoolyard Yesterday night Don't give up without a fight Angeline Stay close to me Angeline Stay close to me Angeline stay so close to me Angeline is falling and I… Angeline stay close to me Angeline stay close to me

I Know Where You Went 03:31
lyrics

Fires led me to your room Where I found a tape of you still screaming at the moon You said "all of my drugs are gone" And you needed to find someone who could hook you up soon All your friends are gone I know I'm usually wrong…but I know where you went I know where you went I know where you went and it's not your home Indecision led me to your street Where I found your car and it was parked sideways you swore all of your love was gone I wondered when it was that our life became cliché All our friends are gone I know I'm usually wrong…but I know where you went I know where you went I know where you went It's not your home I spent all day in my bed drinking filtered sunlight through pillows understand: this was never my intent this was never something that I expected to last I know where you went I know where you went I know where you went It's not your home

it's almost a new year kick it into next gear as I stay in between calendars I'll sleep well knowing these hours are my sheets Angeline said, "don't worry about it now" Jed claims his innocence, I claim incompetence I guess that's how, On the way back home I knew I was afraid of myself On the way back home It's killing me It's killing me On the way back home I still have the same fears I'll drown them in different beers What would this calendar year say to me? If only those moments could speak Lisa said, "you might as well roll with it because everyone else left and you're no different." On the way back home I knew I was afraid of myself On the way back home It's killing me It's killing me On the way back home Sandy said, "no" Sandy said, "no" Sandy said, "no" Sandy said, "you're full of shit, you're full of shit, so baby just go." On the way back home I knew I was afraid of myself On the way back home It's killing me It's killing me On the way back home

Memphis 03:43
lyrics

Those small towns out in West Texas They never did shit for me All these lost souls out in Memphis Need more soul delivery All you snot-nosed-whiney bastards out in Santa Barbara stare Take another shot of tequila On their way to O'Hare What did you say? What made you think that you'd get away? I think that I lost you long before that Somewhere stranded at a county fair Looking for some talent playing on the side stage I could have told you that it was never there What would you say? What made you think that you'd get away? What would you say? What made you think that you'd get away? Because I got away?

How long has it been since I can remember your street? I need to send you a letter to let you know that I found me again How long has it been since we lost touch? I heard your smile is gone Nobody says much of anything at all The city is starving you We're all missing you How long has it been since these days faded into weeks? You never left my heart for one minute and I still feel everything that we had How long has it been since these months faded into years? I wish I could say what I needed to do now but nothing seems so clear anymore The city is starving you We're all missing you You lost your friends Don't lose me tonight You lost your friends Don't lose me tonight You lost your friends Don't lose me tonight You lost your friends Don't lose me You lost your friends Don't lose me tonight You lost your friends Don't lose me tonight (we've come so far, for none of this to feel right)

Start this sale with one clearance item It'll do no harm to get this shit out of my wallet Or will it? Start this night Start it off with just one kiss The kind that starts a war Or the kind that could end it Don't end it I know I could do this right I know I could really fuck this up before we hit the night I know I turn you on I know I could really fuck this up before night turns to dawn Start this party Start it off with a backbeat Get her in the room Then get her up on her feet Start this story Greet this city with an ending About how love means so much and how rules are for bending No endings I know I could do this right I know I could really fuck this up before we hit the night I know I turn you on I know I could really fuck this up and sleep straight through 'til dawn So start a war So start a war So start a war So start a war I know I could do this right I know I could really fuck this up before we hit the night I know I could turn you on I know I could really fuck this up and sleep straight through 'til dawn x2 I've come here to start a war
