With a box full of records from Columbia House Come hell or high water, I'll make the future somehow With some clothes I've outgrown Some looks I can live without I'm an ocean of sentimental value, I wanna leave it behind somehow I'm dying to feel better, dying to patch up all the leaks Off chasing better weather with a head full of antiques Hoping one of these'll shoot me back into the breeze Lord I'm bending on my knees To go find peace somehow I'll trade my past to you For a future past Everything must go, all that I can throw And all that I can cash My days roll together into a ball of twine Can't tell you how it stands, or how it got so high I'd find some more time to waste If I had a little more time to buy Here, kid they're your memories now Take em, I hope they're kind Let me go find peace somehow I'll trade my past to you For a future past Everything must go, all I've ever known Was never built to last

Bathed in Bugler smoke, I’ve never loved the moonlight more Than in some far off town, far away from my own name, in a new heart Busk until we’re drunk, do it till the day I hate my own voice Can I sleep in your loft? May I borrow your microphone, and maybe your guitar? Snap a photo with your eyes and if it’s a blur, it’s all right I swear I’ll get you that song one day if I get better at this It's somewhere shining in the corner of the moonlight over 99 West Find a space on the wall, have fun go painting in the caves Find a couple lines, hold them together and hope it makes you feel brave Try and find a voice, take a handful when you go, just to see what fits Busk until the dusk, after all the banks shut down and call it quits Snap a photo with your eyes and if it’s a blur, it’s all right I swear I’ll get you that song one day if I get better at this It's somewhere shining in the corner of the moonlight over 99 West I'll even sign it with a heart Moonlight, Oregon-99 West I'll even sign it with my name Moonlight, Oregon 99 West 99 West I've never loved the moonlight more

I hate the snake in this bag 100 pounds of it on my back. You slithery stone this crowd seems to love us so. For all of those who are afraid to come near it keeps your distance as well as it should trust me it's for your own good don't want you so close to me through the curtains I'm all I'm not hell, I'm even a man my father would've never fought so, Damien let's prove the old man wrong even if he doesn't care we're moving on. This airplane vodka don't help at all I ain't going out there without an 8-ball This crowd calls my name I answer back to them in shame Which way do I go Who am I up against Where's my 8-ball you son of a bitch Just give this kid the count I'll see myself out Just give me my money now. Cos out there I'm all I'm not all that's left of me's dying out there in a parking lot Aurelian we'll prove the old man wrong even if he doesn't care we're moving on I used to hate the snake in this bag but it's been around longer than my dad it serves and protects this crowd seems to love us still days are brighter and my head's on straight I started yoga hell I lost a little weight I think I may have found my good I found my name again. through the curtains I'm all I'm not hell, I'm even a man my father would've never fought so, Damien let's prove the old man wrong even if he doesn't care we're moving on. even if he doesn't care.

I wanna send this one out to my dad in Lancaster prison I love you anywhere you go I swear soon I’ll come visit till then here’s “Smile Now, Cry Later” Send one to my baby fifth night in a row, she's locked me out tell her I'm waiting and I hope she lets me back in somehow Here’s “Always & Forever” Art would you read my letter to my family back at home. Tell them I miss them, give my wife a kiss through the microphone And play “Gangsters Get Lonely Too” I wanna send one out with forgiveness on my breath to all the ghosts out here, all the ones that never left Play em “Groovin’ on a Sunday Afternoon” Art, all around my home Somewhere in the heartbeat there Are all those once in a lifetime dances all our drunken relatives shared Go on and let our love and our forgiveness into the air with the El Monte Legion Stadium still lingering up there somewhere Gone but it's somewhere Here's "Smile Now, Cry Later."

onward, progress. on with the show we gotta get out this place needs to close this wake's gotta clear out and make room for the next. an hour ago we said we'd be gone in five minutes on with the obvious, you can't turn it off. look it in the eye, hope that it's enough race the moon home hope that a nice dream comes, chase a glass of water raise it up to everyone here's to you hope you make it through hope you make it through the night here's to you hope you make it through, hope you make it through the light on with the program, our lives minus one. it's a brand new day somehow it's a rerun we'll all still carry love, it weighs whatever you want it's a hummingbird, it's your best friend getting carried out of a bar on with our seasons, on with our coats, always keep a song stuck in your throat I may leave this party I may irish goodbye find a glass of water and maybe throw away this tie here's to you hope you make it through hope you make it through the night here's to you hope you make it through, hope you make it through the light here's to you hope it's not too late hope you make it home and latch the gate may we make it home and latch the gate.
