Albany
Ghost Mice

We drove back to shows
On dark and ... roads
The park was so big
I couldn't see through it
We had to take it slow
But little did I know
While I did my best to keep us alive
You were dying out there on the west coast
And the ... lies, look so bright in the dark
With no seat belts on and an expired license plate
That reminds state police...
To get easy on us, and let us drive away
The road seemed to go on forever that night
And the hour forgetting late
And all the cellphone towers that we don't have
Had a ... on their face
Cause they knew what they had to do
But they didn't wanna break the news
It's an awful job that no one wants to do

Kept awake by crazy dogs
Too much baking powder used
I had 7 ...
So I knew that it was back at news
I went to the van, taste the metal in my mouth
Played that message back again and again
Just hoping that I heard it wrong somehow
And the people on the streets they stare at me
As I stare off into space
Like a statue in the back seat, like a coffin in the grave
I set ... purple rain
And I've waited for the phone call to come to tell me
...guess what's...
And I've waited for weeks and weeks to let off
A tear roll down my face
And I knew what I had to do
But I didn't wanna break the news
It's an awful job that no one wants to do

So this is where you ...when you're out to try to kill the president
We tracked you down, and we drugged you back into the van somehow
I drew you against the fence, I felt so bad...
The next morning I just left, and I drove all alone
Feeling so fucking sick
And somewhere in Pennsylvania, I saw a dozen Amish women on a bridge
They waved at me when I drove underneath...
This was years ... I know, I know
But now I'm back again
And a god damn telephone telling me that I don't have a best friend
And I don't want to go home, because home ...where I live
So I play that message one more time again.
