Caroline 04:31
ok here’s the deal I’ll be working late but if you got a car you should drop on by up north it’s not so bad take 94 all the way to Lake Avenue past Green Bay Road across the Metra Tracks I work the restaurant behind the liquor store well, I understand do what you need to I can see you tomorrow I got plans but I’ll be home by 8 so if that works I’d love to see you if the rain don’t touch you if the moon don’t see you if you don’t remember your name don’t cry, Caroline don’t even stray but keep your heart as wide as the world outside you tonight it’s really coming down don’t know when it will stop scooters slide past in the rain so like I was saying I’ve never seen Spokane but I’d like to someday (chorus)

by the evening catch me turning always learning in time from fall river to dresden always descending in time it was all I could do to let you know it was all I could do to try it was all I could do to let you know it was all I could do in time a lifetime spent in motion in the direction of return I don’t listen and I don’t remember the shape of december and decline (chorus) it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on baby turn the lights down by redwoods and time catch me turning we’re always learning by new roads and time (chorus) and it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Gary's Song 03:27
Gary leave the lights on I want to hear the sound of a two drink minimum in a ten cent town but I’m dreaming of the lake shore and the pitch of the waves illumination of our better days chorus: so when I’m leaving you’ll be the first to know with the daughters of the frontier I’ll be dancing slow Gary pull the shades down I think it might be time cigarette trails and green green eyes but I’m dreaming of the sunrise and the pull of home I’m Champaign-bound and pushin’ on (chorus) so roll up the windows and open the door on rusty hinges and sticky floors I’m dreaming of the ocean I won’t settle for less cruising Belmont in my Sunday best so when I’m leaving you’ll be the first to know with the daughters of the frontier I’ll be dancing slow and if you call me be sure to say hello from the other side take me home oh take me home
6.
Ghost Town 03:36
I’m riding to the Black Hills all the way from Omaha I got your picture in my pocket and like a lamp that’s been switched on I’m left to burn I’ve got a lot left to learn (chorus) so won’t you take me to the ghost town? it’s just us there’ll be no one else around keep driving to the daylight and leave your troubles to the July sun sunflowers in my rearview rows and rows and rows and rows I hear your voice are you calling? no it’s only the radio steve singing “thirty days in the hole” (chorus) turn around I’m leaving I’ve got it all written down all the highways and all the rivers all the engines in the sun I’ll call you I’ll send a card direct from the sun (chorus)
7.
Geraldine 04:10
geraldine you and me we don’t seem to agree with no way up and one way down I don’t recall and you don’t allow that’s the way it ought to be you and me, geraldine I’ve seen you stay and I’ve seen you go one above and one below I’ve heard you crying how could it be? it ain’t nothing leave it up to me (chorus) I’ve seen the moon and I’ve seen the sun I don’t need nothing don’t need anyone I’m one day out and moving slow one behind and one to go (chorus)
8.
bloomington gal where have you been? we’re a long way from home and there’s no sun shining in today I’d like to see you anyway I must admit I didn’t mean to stay but the sound of your voice and the Indiana rain’s got me thinking it doesn’t matter anyway darling I can’t see too far ahead of me and nothing seems to matter much anyway today so bloomington gal I guess I’ll never learn as the sun’s coming up the wheels start to turn outside it’s just another morning
9.
Deep River 05:53
I saw the deep river on my left I know I stayed too long I know what I said it’s not too late to go it’s not too late to go I traced an outline in the snow I feel what’s missing I want to know it’s not too late to go deep river in the snow (vocal break) I waited a long time I spent it all in the back of a buick on 84 I know you had to go I know you had to go so deep river it’s just you & me on the horizon on the sea it’s not too late to go deep river in the snow (vocal break) (loudness)
10.
July 03:46
july’s waiting for days & days in the sun in the shade when I’ll go I cannot say july’s waiting for days & days july, tell me is it time to go? close to the sun follow the road I saw a shadow I thought it was me july, tell me what it will be when you’re leaving don’t hesitate don’t worry and don’t be late I think I know what you’d say july’s been waiting for days & days july’s waiting for days & days in the sun in the shade when I’ll go I cannot say july’s waiting for days & days

Kirk Langstrom, gonna drink a serum Become Man-Bat, hangin’ in the museum The evil jewel thieves are gonna jam the sonar But here comes Man-Bat, so nobody's gonna go far. Cuz he’s a Man-Bat, baby Cuz he’s a Man-Bat, oh yeah Man-Bat only lasted for 2 issues Neil Adams got the kids cryin’ in their tissues In his room in Pennsylvania, a little kid named Tony Wasn’t done with Man-Bat Thought there’s be more stories. Cuz he’s a Man-Bat, baby Cuz he’s a Man-Bat, oh yeah Last night I dreamed I saw Man-Bat on the side of the road, on a prison work detail. He was, of course, winged and naked (and furry) down to his belly, wore nothing but the bottom of an orange penitentiary jumpsuit belted at the waist. Man-Bat and his fellow prisoners were building a lung on the road shoulder to inhale all the world’s air pollution . . . Leave the man who is a bat alone. Now Kirk is in Chicago, livin’ in a high rise Gonna fight the bad guy, whose hands have got 10 eyes He’s also got a wife now, a She-Bat named Francine They’re wearin’ capes and muumuus; it’s a really heavy scene Cuz he’s a Man-Bat, baby Cuz he’s a Man-Bat, oh yeah (x2) Skree skree (etc.)
