327<br>
328Andrew & Meagan<br>
329came over last night<br>
330just to have a few laughs<br>
331but Meagan didn't seem right<br>
332She kept checking our windows<br>
333chewing on her hair<br>
334jumping at shadows<br>
335& freaking out Clare<br>
336<br>
337Andrew drank the last cold one<br>
338asked if we had some more<br>
339The 'frigerator was empty<br>
340so he walked to the store<br>
341That was just before 9<br>
342We haven't seen him since<br>
343but we left the porch light on for him<br>
344<br>
345Then Meagan asked us<br>
346if we'd ever seen a ghost<br>
347& told us about the night<br>
348she was driving down the Michigan coast<br>
349& she passed a lighthouse<br>
350& saw a dude standing under it<br>
351He looked transparent<br>
352She saw the lake right through him<br>
353He turned to face her<br>
354only she couldn't see a face<br>
355It was like the lighthouse lamp<br>
356was shining in its place<br>
357Then all Meagan saw was light<br>
358A premonition of Andrew's death<br>
359& everything gone white<br>
360<br>
361Andrew showed up at 10<br>
362with a half rack of Coors<br>
363Scared the life out of Meagan<br>
364when he walked through the door<br>
365<br>

370<br>
371Lily you are <br>
372the one & only friend I have<br>
373who in this technological age <br>
374still has an answering machine<br>
375<br>
376You use it to call <br>
377your dog when you're away at work<br>
378just to remind him that he is good <br>
379& you will see him soon<br>
380<br>
381& you can tell <br>
382that he really listens to your calls<br>
383because when you get home you will find<br>
384his toys laid by the machine<br>
385<br>
386Coz he loves you best<br>

391<a href="https://advancebase.bandcamp.com/track/big-chris-electric">BIG CHRIS ELECTRIC</a><br>
392<br>
393Big Chris was an electrician<br>
394He worked on Yvonne's house<br>
395That's how she met him<br>
396Yvonne asked him out<br>
397He'd pick her up in the evenings<br>
398in his electrician van<br>
399Mostly they would just talk<br>
400& he'd hold her hand<br>
401<br>
402They'd ride around in his van<br>
403with his name on the side<br>
404& Yvonne felt protected<br>
405like everything was alright<br>
406<br>
407Laney was only 7<br>
408Chris treated her like his own<br>
409Laney's dad Jamie was jealous<br>
410He couldn't leave it alone<br>
411<br>
412Yvonne found out she was pregnant<br>
413Chris went & bought her a ring<br>
414He said "We'll be a family<br>
415I'll take care of everything"<br>
416<br>
417They'd go ride in his van<br>
418with his name on the side<br>
419& when Jamie would see them<br>
420it ate him up inside<br>
421<br>
422One night when Chris was out drinking<br>
423watching a game at the bar<br>
424Jamie started in on him<br>
425& took it too far<br>
426<br>
427They ended up on the sidewalk<br>
428Somebody called up Yvonne<br>
429By the time that she got there<br>
430Jamie had shot Chris & run<br>
431<br>
432You know we still have his van<br>
433Still has his name on the side<br>
434It's been parked in the driveway<br>
435as long as I've been alive<br>
436<br>
437Jamie's still out there running<br>
438Laney lives with a friend<br>
439It's just me & Yvonne<br>
440She never married again<br>
441<br>
442I know that she's had a hard time<br>
443raising kids on her own<br>
444We fight all the time<br>
445I hate being at home<br>
446<br>
447Someday I'll fix up his van<br>
448I'll keep his name on the side<br>
449I'm gonna get out of Richmond<br>
450& vanish into the night<br>
451<br>

456<br>
457Watch the sunrise cross the valley<br>
458over the skate ramp in the alley<br>
459Watch you drop off of your roof<br>
460& shatter half your spine<br>
461Watch the ambulance come screaming<br>
462Watch your mom losing her mind<br>
463while paramedics lift your body<br>
464& tell you you'll be fine<br>
465<br>
466Watch you're 15 & paralyzed<br>
467& lucky to be alive<br>
468<br>
469Watch your hair grows super long<br>
470like if Cliff Burton was blond<br>
471Watch you're crying in your chair<br>
472watching Jackass on your phone<br>
473<br>
474Watch you're 15 & paralyzed<br>
475& lucky to be alive<br>

481<br>
482The pumpkin pie was frozen<br>
483The coffee was just right<br>
484Had my dinner at the counter<br>
485of a diner Christmas night<br>
486<br>
487When Elvis started singing<br>
488the waitress changed the dial<br>
489& the scowl on her face<br>
490made me smile<br>
491<br>
492"I hate that tune" she said<br>
493"What Christmas isn't blue?<br>
494I don't need to hear it<br>
495from him, too."<br>   
496<br>
497A little snow was falling<br> 
498As I walked back to the car<br> 
499& I started her up thinking<br> 
500that I shouldn't drive too far<br> 
501<br>
502When Council Bluffs came rising up<br> 
503from darkness all around<br>
504I stopped at the first motel<br>
505that I found<br>
506<br>
507"Is it just you?"<br>
508said the night clerk in her mumu<br>
509“Well, you're in luck<br>
510I got one last room for you"<br>
511<br>
512We robbed that bank in Cisco on Christmas Eve<br>
513both of us dressed like Santa Claus<br>
514& the teenaged teller's hands were trembling<br>
515as he placed the bills into our two duffel bags<br>
516<br>
517We drove through the night to Wichita Falls<br>
518where I left you at your mama's house<br>
519& as you pulled your bag out the back of the Buick<br>
520You said to me "Merry Christmas, bud!”<br>
521<br>
522Once the door was bolted<br>
523I opened up my half<br>
524& when I saw the burst of blue inside<br>
525I couldn't help but laugh<br>
526<br>
527The teller must have thrown a dye pack<br>
528in with all the cash<br>
529& my take had been stolen<br>
530in a flash<br>
531<br>
532What does it prove?<br>
533I guess what Elvis said was true<br>
534I'm having a blue Christmas<br>
535without you<br>
536<br>
537<br>
538<br>
539<br>
540<a href="https://advancebase.bandcamp.com/track/care">CARE</a><br>
541<br>
542We woke to our neighbor's cries<br>
543The sting of smoke in our sleepy eyes<br>
544& I said baby better get dressed<br>
545Get the dog we can leave the rest<br>
546<br>
547By the time we got downstairs<br>
548the fire engines were already there<br>
549& you were shaking you were so scared<br>
550I held you & kissed your smoky hair<br>
551<br>
552That's when I knew<br>
553that I could take care of you<br>
554<br>
555& when my best friend died<br>
556from the cancer that ate him inside<br>
557I got drunk & I stayed that way<br>
558for several nights into several days<br>
559<br>
560For the times I was aware<br>
561what I remember is that you were there<br>
562You held head & I cried & cried<br>
563You called our jobs & you lied & lied<br>
564<br>

646Been walking circles round the house all day<br>
647til you had to turn some lights on<br>
648<br>
649Stopped for half a tank of gas<br>
650plus some Skittles & a diet Sprite<br>
651Could've stared at the beers all night<br>

738a tarp for a tent<br>
739a wild place to lay ourselves down<br>

775with the one bag I could bring<br>
776plus the cash I got for the ring<br>
777You were waiting at the station<br>
778with a Thermos & some flowers<br>
779I knew your jacket from your picture<br>

783Our midnight world<br>
784Just me & you<br>
785<br>
786I moved into your apartment<br>
787It was comfortable for two<br>
788You let me paint the bedroom blue<br>

790You would drive me in your car<br>
791& you'd come pick me up too<br>

841Growing up in Richmond<br>
842you were anarchic & shy<br>
843Tried to steal some tampons<br>
844that you were too scared to buy<br>
845"Say cheese" the Kroger manager said<br>
846in his fateful drawl<br>
847That was how you got your picture on the wall<br>
848<br>
849You told me the story<br>
850the first night that we hung out<br>
851A thousand miles west<br>
852in your new room in your new house<br>
853You laughed when I said<br>
854"I'd like to see that photo now"<br>
855& we kissed beneath the pictures on your wall<br>
856<br>
857A couple Julys later<br>
858& we live together now<br>
859I drove your van to Richmond<br>
860to move your kid brother out<br>
861& cruising by the Kroger<br>
862I remembered all about<br>
863Laney, how you got your picture on the wall<br>
864<br>
865I snuck around the back<br>
866to where deliveries arrive<br>
867I saw a door said MANAGER<br>
868& so I went inside<br>
869A grid of Polaroids stared<br>
870Yours stared hardest of them all<br>

883It's the longest I've been home <br>
884since I remember <br>
885I wake up earlier these days<br>
886to dress the kid & fix her eggs <br>
887Then we'll walk down to the park <br>
888if it's nice out <br>
889There's a swing set where she plays <br>
890<br>
891I'm not out looking for something <br>
892I haven't found<br>
893You won't see me around <br>
894I've got a family now <br>
895<br>
896I used to drive all night no stopping <br>
897like a Batman with no Robin<br>
898& then sometime around dawn<br>
899I'd wake up with my seatbelt on <br>
900to some cop knocking <br>
901I've seen a lot of wrecks & burnouts<br>
902& nights the crowds just didn't turn out <br>
903& I've drunk myself so ill<br>
904& nearly got myself killed<br>
905more times than I would care to count <br>

908I haven't found<br>
909You won't see me around<br>

913& recognized Kitty Winn<br>
914from The Panic in Needle Park<br>
915with Al Pacino <br>
916She played his girlfriend <br>
917It felt like seeing an old friend<br>
918the way I wondered where she'd been <br>

921on the sofa in the den <br>

936on the Michigan side of the lake<br>
937with her boyfriend CJ<br>
938a couple miles down the way<br>
939from Little Sable Point Lighthouse<br>
940<br>
941They went swimming<br>
942They drank beer & watched TV<br>
943& on the second night<br>
944CJ couldn't sleep<br>
945so he snuck out with her keys<br>
946& drove the Cherokee<br>
947out to see the lighthouse<br>
948<br>
949Standing under at the tower<br>
950Watching the big light spin<br>
951Hypnotized by the silver beam<br>
952that cut right through the dim<br>
953That's how Elise imagined him<br>
954He was never seen again<br>
955<br>
956Years later<br>
957in Michigan again<br>
958for the second wedding<br>
959of an old school friend<br>

963Just a ghost now<br>
964decommissioned some time before<br>
965it had been the site<br>
966of endless imagined horror<br>
967but with a calm that surprised her<br>
968Elise parked the car<br>
969& walked out to see the lighthouse<br>
970<br>
971Standing under the tower<br>
972that now stood dark<br>
973surrounded by the quiet<br>
974of Silver Lake State Park<br>

986& I called your house it's the only number that I know  <br>
987<br>
988You picked up & said this is surprising <br>
989I stood in the dark apologizing <br>
990for the cheap way I ended our good thing <br>
991& I asked if you would call a tow truck for me  <br>
992<br>
993I walked up the road in the direction <br>
994of the hatchback I just had wrecked & <br>
995I thought of last night the fight we had in there <br>
996& I thought of the way the light looked in your hair  <br>
997<br>
998I expected to find the beast embedded <br>
999in the windshield the way I'd left it <br>
1000but there was just blood & glass on the smashed hood <br>
1001I guess he came to & ran back through the wood  <br>

1109That my uncle wrote from the pen<br>
1110<br>
1111He'd robbed some banks<br>
1112with a partner in Boston<br>
1113Pretending to have<br>
1114traveling salesman jobs<br>
1115& my aunt found the money<br>
1116She called the cops on him<br>
1117<br>
1118In most of his letters<br>
1119he said he was sorry &<br>
1120wanted forgiveness<br>
1121The last one's a postcard<br>
1122from after he broke out<br>
1123it said Merry Christmas<br>
1124<br>
1125Tuesday again<br>
1126& I'm closing the Arc<br>
1127The last movie ends<br>
1128& the marquee goes dark<br>
1129I walk the deposit<br>
1130alone through the park<br>
1131The night drop is waiting<br>
1132      <br>

1137<br>
1138My sister & me<br>
1139we don't see eye to eye<br>
1140she's got religion<br>
1141& I don't ask why<br>
1142her husband & kids<br>
1143they all pray to the sky<br>
1144      <br>
1145It was my sister's birthday<br>
1146the other night<br>
114736 candles<br>
1148for someone to light<br>
1149but I didn't call her<br>
1150&amp; I didn't write<br>
1151      <br>
1152Oh<br>
1153when we were kids<br>
1154she stuck up for me<br>
1155when no one else did<br>
1156      <br>
1157My sister's got a scar<br>
1158under her eye<br>
1159where I hit her with a sparkler<br>
1160when she was 5<br>
1161on the Klamath River<br>
1162the 4th of July<br>
1163      <br>
1164My sister's got a heart<br>
1165that's open wide<br>
1166can't seem to talk<br>
1167without making her cry<br>
1168to bring up the past<br>
1169is like twisting a knife<br>
1170      <br>
1171Oh<br>
1172when we were kids<br>
1173she stuck up for me<br>
1174when no one else did<br>

1181<br>
1182My love for you <br>
1183It's not an atom bomb <br>
1184My love for you<br>
1185It's not a lightning storm <br>
1186My love for you<br>
1187It's like a puppy underfoot <br>
1188Better watch my step<br>
1189You know I could trample it <br>
1190<br>
1191My love for you <br>
1192It's not a movie script <br>
1193Doesn't make sense <br>
1194To my friends when I describe it <br>
1195<br>
1196My love for you <br>
1197Is quiet and it's sweet <br>
1198Better keep you close <br>
1199You know you're my family <br>
1200<br>
1201My love for you <br>
1202It's a small thing <br>

1211Alicia<br>
1212she married young<br>
1213The year she was widowed <br>
1214she had a son<br>
1215On Christmas<br>
1216or when you'd pass through <br>
1217You'd bring Danzig records <br>
1218for your nephew <br>
1219<br>
1220In hard times<br>
1221kids grow up fast<br>
1222Please be there for him <br>
1223your sister would ask<br>
1224He's trouble<br>
1225just like you were<br>
1226With girls & with teachers <br>
1227Without a father <br>
1228<br>
1229Like you<br>
1230when you were a child<br>
1231A young nephew out in the wild <br>
1232<br>
1233At sixteen<br>
1234he dropped out of school <br>
1235Took off with some jewelry <br>
1236his dad's coat & tools<br>
1237He called you<br>
1238from the bus depot<br>
1239With his girlfriend pregnant <br>
1240& nowhere to go <br>
1241<br>
1242You told him<br>
1243that he should go home<br>
1244& said you were sorry<br>
1245& hung up the phone <br>
1246Then no one<br>
1247heard from him at all <br>
1248When Alicia came crying <br>
1249you didn't mention his call <br>
1250<br>
1251Like you<br>

1260I could hear the T.V. playing<br>
1261as I was coming up the stair<br>
1262loud enough the dead could hear<br>
1263      <br>
1264You've been watching all your<br>
1265game shows<br>
1266trying to find a code<br>
1267like there's some trick<br>
1268that they don't want you to know<br>
1269      <br>
1270You've been stashing all your empties<br>
1271in the neighbor's bins<br>
1272like the landlord doesn't know<br>
1273you're drinking<br>
1274      <br>
1275You've been sermonizing every day<br>
1276just to keep your ghosts away<br>
1277it's a wonder that you find<br>
1278so much to say<br>
1279      <br>
1280Oh<br>
1281you need a new gospel<br>
1282because the bottom fell out<br>

1289<br>
1290Christmas Eve eve tending bar at the Bunny Hutch<br>
1291I didn't know there was a show<br>
1292'til the headliner called from Columbus to cancel<br>
1293They said on account of the snow<br>
1294That just left the local, one DI & vocal<br>
1295An old punk that I used to know<br>
1296& they tuned their guitar & they sang for the bar<br>
1297One song in particular reminded me of you<br>
1298<br>
1299It was the one about the rabbit in the snow<br>
1300shivering under his coat<br>
1301Lost in the white<br>
1302& trying to find his way home<br>
1303<br>
1304When I noticed the snow's diagonal blow<br>
1305It was last call & time to go home<br>
1306So we said our goodnights & I cleaned up<br>
1307shut out the lights<br>
1308& locked up the place with the cold in my face<br>
1309The V-Dub was buried out front where I'd parked it<br>
1310but I'd left the shovel at home<br>
1311So I pulled on my good gloves<br>
1312a gift from you my love<br>
1313& I started walking & sort of sing-talking<br>
1314<br>
1315The one about the rabbit in the snow<br>
1316shivering under his coat<br>
1317Lost in the white<br>
1318& trying to find his way home<br>
1319<br>
1320& I thought of you warm asleep in our bed<br>
1321The radiator humming low<br>
1322& I pictured the string of lights<br>
1323we put up the other night<br>
1324& the way that they made our little room glow<br>
1325& halfway to home I knew I should have stayed<br>
1326That's when everything turned to white<br>
1327& with each step a fight<br>
1328I searched for our Christmas lights<br>
1329thinking again to the song in my head<br>
1330<br>
1331The one about the rabbit in the snow<br>
1332shivering under his coat<br>
1333Lost in the white<br>
1334& trying to find his way home<br>

1341<br>
1342Most of the snow's melted it's just lumps of ice <br>
1343& plastic bags strewn in the yard <br>
1344I'd go & get us a bottle of wine <br>
1345but I'm pretty sure that they card <br>
1346Lansing is ugly it smells like a bus <br>
1347but it's better than where we came from <br>
1348& you're the only girl I can talk to <br>
1349You're the only other girl from back home <br>
1350<br>
1351You got a job & you got me one too <br>
1352& we hated our jobs pretty bad <br>
1353but there was this one boy we both thought was cute <br>
1354This Hessian dishwasher named Chad <br>
1355& I took him home knowing you liked him first <br>
1356& you cussed me out on the phone <br>
1357Now you won't even talk to me <br>
1358& you're the only other girl from back home <br>
1359<br>
1360I ran into Case-Man an hour ago <br>
1361He was just passing through town <br>
1362He said this junior took gasoline cans <br>
1363& she burned our old high school down <br>
1364& I ran out to find you I looked everywhere <br>
1365though you said to leave you alone <br>
1366But you're the only person that I thought should know <br>
1367You're the only other girl from back home <br>
1368<br>
1369You're the one single person I wanted to tell <br>
1370We're the only two girls from back home <br>

1377Remember the time<br>
1378when our cat ran away<br>
1379we hollered her name<br>
1380up a bunch of driveways<br>
1381&amp; drove twice a week<br>
1382to the SPCA<br>
1383to check every cage<br>
1384full of kittens &amp; strays<br>
1385      <br>
1386You made some flyers<br>
1387at Copies To Go<br>
1388with her cutest picture<br>
1389our number below<br>
1390&amp; we hung on windows<br>
1391&amp;
1391 telephone poles<br>
1392&amp; I'm pretty sure<br>
1393we bummed out everyone we know<br>
1394      <br>
1395A whole month went by<br>
1396&amp; it rained every day<br>
1397&amp; most of our flyers<br>
1398got moldy &amp; gray<br>
1399then somebody found her<br>
1400a few blocks away<br>
1401she was skinny &amp; scared<br>
1402but she was okay<br>
1403      <br>
1404Remember the strangers<br>
1405who thought they were wise<br>
1406who insisted she'd come back<br>
1407&amp; cats have nine lives<br>
1408&amp; we'd try to act gratefu<br>
1409&nbsp;for stupid advice<br>
1410cats don't come back sometimes<br>
1411but this time it was fine<br>

1419& dumb as a drum machine <br>
1420A star & a goat <br>
1421on a chain at his throat <br>
1422Sold acid & mescaline <br>
1423but even when he was clean <br>
1424he still had the smell of weed in his coat <br>
1425<br>
1426You were named after a fake I.D. <br>
1427Smaller than you should be <br>
1428with eyes just as black as the sea <br>
1429<br>
1430Your mom was sixteen <br>
1431& sweeter than saccharine <br>
1432Always said her prayers <br>
1433unless he was there <br>
1434She worked at Dairy Queen <br>
1435& no matter how she cleaned <br>
1436she still had the smell of death in her hair  <br>
1437<br>
1438You were born into a world of sin <br>
1439You are the devil's kin <br>
1440The sign of the beast on your skin <br>
1441<br>
1442You have come to fulfill a prophecy <br>
1443To level humanity <br>

1454walked the dog<br>
1455Down Levon<br>
1456onto Birch<br>

1459inside the church<br>
1460<br>
1461Floated on<br>
1462down to Vine<br>
1463like we did<br>
1464a hundred times<br>
1465Felt the leash<br>
1466pulling hard<br>
1467towards a family<br>
1468of rabbits<br>
1469in your old yard<br>
1470<br>

1485just to be<br>

1499In the park<br>

1501with your name<br>
1502next to mine<br>

1514When I meet you at Juan's party you'd just moved here<br>
1515You knew some of my friends from Tulsa<br>
1516I liked your accent & we talked til Juan kicked us out<br>
1517You walked me back to my apartment<br>
1518<br>
1519But you didn't come inside<br>
1520You just smiled at me so wide<br>
1521You said "I'm so glad I met you<br>
1522Rene Goodnight"<br>
1523<br>
1524Thought about you the next morning & called up Fran<br>
1525to see how well she knew you from Tulsa<br>
1526She said "Uh oh he's got a reputation here<br>
1527I heard that he hurt some old partners"<br>
1528<br>
1529Is that why you had to move<br>
1530Are the Tulsa rumors true<br>
1531When you called that night I sent it to voicemail<br>
1532<br>
1533& when I saw you at the diner the next weekend<br>
1534I got scared & ducked into a booth<br>
1535& hid behind a menu 'til you got up to go<br>
1536I watched you pay your check & leave alone<br>
1537<br>
1538Now I see you in my dreams<br>
1539Sometimes sinister & mean<br>
1540Sometimes sweet as hell<br>
1541I don't know what to believe<br>
1542<br>
1543When you walked me home that night<br>
1544I had felt safe by your side<br>

1555to see you again<br>
1556I was supposed to work but<br>
1557gave my shift to a friend<br>
1558I came back to show you<br>
1559the ways that I've grown<br>
1560now that I'm older<br>
1561& have lived on my own<br>
1562To show you the ways you<br>
1563made me who I am<br>
1564I see you in the mirror<br>
1565<br>
1566I drove back to Richmond<br>
1567to see how you've been<br>
1568To learn more about all<br>
1569the life that you've lived<br>
1570& to talk about CJ<br>
1571& to talk about Chris<br>
1572& all my reasons for leaving<br>
1573& everything that I've missed<br>
1574I've been so sad & angry<br>
1575I know you've been too<br>
1576but I can't take the silence<br>
1577<br>
1578I drove back to Richmond<br>
1579with no real plan<br>
1580I stopped at a truck stop<br>
1581& slept in the van<br>
1582& it was still early<br>
1583when I got to town<br>
1584I went by the churchyard<br>
1585then just drove around<br>
1586Drove slow down our street 'til<br>
1587I got to the house<br>

1605      <br>
1606gin in soda cups<br>
1607when we'd work nights<br>
1608the projectionist gave us weed<br>
1609sometimes<br>
1610      <br>

1612in my father's Taurus<br>
1613singing along with the tapes<br>
1614that Meg made us<br>
1615      <br>

1624most nights 'til we got tired<br>
1625      <br>

1627Meg drank on her own<br>
1628&amp; when the money ran out<br>
1629she moved home<br>
1630      <br>

1656It's seventeen stops<br>
1657before you get downtown<br>
1658Your stomach's queasy<br>
1659with flashes of heat<br>
1660But maybe once that belly shows<br>
1661you'll get a seat<br>

1730&amp; her in her summer dress<br>
1731half a beer &amp; her hair a mess<br>
1732      <br>
1733The sound of music<br>
1734from the kitchen boombox<br>
1735      <br>
1736With a heart like a symphony<br>
1737cymbal crashing infinity<br>
1738it came under some duress<br>
1739she left with my happiness<br>
1740      <br>
1741The sound of music<br>
1742from the kitchen boombox<br>
1743      <br>
1744There's no comfort in sympathy<br>
1745she's upstate with a family<br>

1756<br>
1757You had tried to summon Satan <br>
1758but screwed up the incantation <br>
1759& left an open portal <br>
1760on your parents' kitchen wall <br>
1761& the demons you released that day <br>
1762have stayed with you you along your way <br>
1763Screaming in your ear <br>
1764Kill them all <br>
1765<br>
1766You can worry about the future <br>
1767You can worry about the past <br>
1768You can worry about how long <br>
1769this curse is going to last <br>
1770<br>
1771You were walking through the park one night <br>
1772angry looking for a fight <br>
1773when you heard a busker <br>
1774playing accordion <br>
1775<br>
1776You stuck him twice & down he fell <br>
1777Sealed your passage straight to hell <br>
1778& you knew at once <br>
1779that you would kill again <br>
1780<br>
1781You can worry about the future <br>

1795      <br>
1796Melody lost a tooth the other night<br>
1797& I only had a twenty on me<br>
1798Clare was in Wisconsin seeing her ma<br>
1799'cause she just had surgery<br>
1800So after I tucked Melody into bed<br>
1801& waited a while 'til she was asleep<br>
1802I put on my shoes & I slipped out the back<br>
1803& walked to the liquor store<br>
1804<br>
1805Now I'd just intended to break my twenty<br>
1806so I'd have a dollar to put under her pillow<br>
1807I figured a 6-pack of High Life would do the trick<br>
1808as well as a candy bar would<br>
1809<br>
1810So back to the house with the 6-pack in hand<br>
1811A ten & a one in my wallet<br>
1812I crept through the back door to Melody's room<br>
1813but found her bed empty<br>
1814Oh, I said her name & I switched on the light<br>
1815& panicked & shouting I searched through the house<br>
1816Just as I thought I should call the police<br>
1817I heard Melody through the window<br>
1818<br>
1819I ran out the front door as she turned to me<br>
1820her bare little feet on the street<br>
1821& through her sobbing she asked me<br>
1822"Where did you go<br>
1823Where did you go, Dad<br>
1824I couldn't find you"<br>

1832Am I supposed to listen to Thin Lizzy <br>
1833& get high on my own <br>
1834I went by the restaurant  <br>
1835Becky said <br>
1836you don't work there anymore <br>
1837She said one guy too many made a pass at you <br>
1838& you walked out the door  <br>
1839<br>
1840You dropped your apron in the parking lot <br>
1841& never came back for your last paycheck  <br>
1842<br>
1843I don't see you ever at the bar <br>
1844I'm always on the lookout <br>
1845for your busted ass Windstar <br>
1846Your name's off your buzzer <br>
1847There's no welcome mat <br>
1848sitting outside your door <br>
1849Your neighbor said the landlord raised the rent �til you  <br>
1850wouldn't pay it anymore  <br>
1851<br>
1852You cleared the whole place out in a single night <br>
1853& you were up & gone before it was light  <br>
1854<br>
1855You used to get so mad <br>
1856I couldn't take you serious <br>
1857I'd make one stupid joke <br>
1858& you'd act furious <br>
1859You even warned me once <br>
1860that you'd get out somehow <br>
1861I guess you're somewhere laughing now  <br>
1862<br>
1863Wild one wild one where'd you go <br>

1939<br>
1940The year I lived in Richmond<br>
1941there was a killer on the loose<br>
1942Four women slain in my neighborhood<br>
1943It was all over the news<br>
1944Deborah Lee Hill moved to Richmond<br>
1945round about the same time as me<br>
1946She was a peculiar one, the strong & silent type<br>
1947I'd see her at the bar occasionally<br>
1948<br>
1949The summer was hot that year in Richmond<br>
1950Deborah didn't have an A/C<br>
1951She slept with her second story bedroom window up<br>
1952Just to catch a little breeze<br>
1953She woke one night to an intruder<br>
1954climbing in her window from a tree<br>
1955Deborah up & ran for a kitchen knife<br>
1956& stabbed him in his chest repeatedly<br>
1957<br>
1958The coroner came to take the body<br>
1959Deborah packed up all her things<br>
1960She left in her pickup truck as soon as morning came<br>
1961She'd seen all she cared to see<br>
1962The rest of the year I lived in Richmond<br>
1963they talked about murders on TV<br>
1964Any child could tell you how that killer died<br>

1977of the old coffee shop was Walter<br>
1978just sitting where he'd always sit<br>
1979<br>
1980& he was staring in the window<br>
1981& maybe at you<br>
1982or maybe at whomever's walking him<br>
1983to fetch your muffins & your Sunday papers<br>
1984the way we used to<br>
1985<br>
1986I don't drink coffee<br>

1992<br>
1993Sundays I ride down to the dog park<br>
1994on the other side of town<br>
1995just to sit down in the shade<br>
1996& watch those puppies running round<br>
1997<br>
1998I don't miss feeling bad & dreading every call<br>
1999The constant screaming dialogue<br>
2000I swear that there were some days<br>
2001it felt like I was only<br>
2002coming around for your dog<br>
2003<br>
2004All those sunny days with Walter<br>
2005chasing squirrels around the park<br>
2006& the way he'd flip<br>
