Track Name: Constance (Angeline)
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
Track Name: I Know Where You Went
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
Track Name: Robert Zemeckis
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
Track Name: Memphis
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?
Track Name: Cityscapes
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)
Track Name: The Yard Sale
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
