Spoke it down from there
All I ever wanted was to be your spine

Your hair and dress in ribbons, babycakes

You say I need a job, Iā€™ve got my own business

In the middle of another groupā€™s guerilla gig

We were in Albuquerque at the fights
The referee wouldnā€™t stop the bout
The kidā€™s blood hit the fifth row
How he didnā€™t die that night I donā€™t know
That was the night I gave up the fight

Two great American Music Club ones:

Lazarus wasnā€™t grateful for his second wind
For a second chance
To watch his chances fade like the dawn and leave

I broke my promise
That I wouldnā€™t write another song about you
(I Broke My Promise)
