When checking out be sure to tip the owner of the house She cooked for you and cleaned a couch for them to find you on All the trucks divided water on three points of ignition Till the chief told them just forget it boys, she's gone There's no point in carrying on All the ghosts were freed by the fire We won't have them hanging around And there's no hurry tearing it down It took us two weeks to get you back and polish up the past Suits, ties, and shades the uniform to send you on your way And the whole town smelled it burning when they went to check the mail And they hadn't thought about that place in years It's kinda like it's still here All the ghosts were freed by the fire Good of them to say goodbye Now we'll go about our lives There's an ongoing investigation And we wonder what we should have done But there's just so much that we don't need to know It's honestly just for show All the ghosts were freed by the fire A history of no time Now we'll go about our lives

Defend the mid-range and sepia light Honey haze through window dust if I remember it right Haircut Mechanic St. there's more but I won't let you in I don't want you here, leave me alone Choose your memories, choose your memories I want the greenest greens, I want an all-star team I've seen that place now from beginning to end It was nothing but grass, cats, and sun for running in I don't know where to start but I know where to stop There was nothing wrong with it till somebody brought you up Choose your memories, choose your memories I want the greenest greens, I want an all-star team I want it faded just so, I want to miss what I missed I didn't need you before even if you were there So you don't make the list, I'm gonna paint it like this Hand-pick your memories, choose your memories

We were wrong and she's moved on I got snow and she got sun And good advice from everyone but me Led me West on major chords Careful plans of simple words Faded out along the boards of Venice Beach And the way you put it was mean and cruel, But that don't mean it was wrong Oh, honey, you're pretty clever for a country song Westwood is a hospital, grey and white, uncomfortable And Hollywood's impossible to love It ain't the place to spend my days Got souvenirs for my suitcase So let the students take the place that I'm so tired of And the bridge that took us up to four, it went a little long Oh, honey, you're pretty clever for a country song Anyplace I think to go I know I'm gonna find you there I wonder what they've told you, but god knows why I'd care Let me be, it ain't up to me Whatcha still doing here, why are you still here Seen it before, leaning on my car door Whatcha still doing here, why are you still here If I stayed or if I left, either way you wished the best And that's the part that I don't get at all Cause you never took the bait, dropped it like your Winter weight And so I hopped the interstate that Fall But in my mind, in every bar the drunks are all singing along Oh, honey, you're pretty clever for a country song, Oh, honey, you weren't wrong

Come around at nine or ten I'll have time to see you then Welcome to the circle of, welcome to the circle of friends Keep you near at either coast, Baby, I believe in ghosts Haunt you till your time here ends, don't disturb the circle of friends And when you're here we'll be gone But when you're gone you'll take us too Don't act so sad, it's what we want, And it's what binds us to you Careful when you plan ahead Leave the time at open ends Welcome to the circle of, welcome to the circle of friends Welcome to the circle of, welcome to the circle of friends

It's not surprising when I get lost again It's an old habit hard to correct Bars for living rooms, clubs for kitchens And there will be no services She's got hers and he's got what's her name Neither one comes out no more Me included, and you included, And there will be no services Making peace with whoever did you wrong You've gotta live here, might as well Keep the noise down, no one's listening There will be no services

They're gonna kill that old dog today It sounds worse than it is, trust me He's trying hard to piss where we say But it's too much When it happens don't wonder There's no need to act surprised All things come to an end dear, and every dog dies When they feed you and see through the clouds in both your eyes You'll see them crying like you do cause it's all pain to you Oh, you're a link to a lot of things My grandpa brought you up on his belly The chairs get higher and higher And it's harder When it happens don't wonder There's no need to act surprised They did all that they could, dear, to keep you alive And it's not just the history You fucked up just like I did and they loved you despite it Cause it's just what you do

I bring a room down Darling, ask around, ask around Something about me just drives people out From my job to the bar to wherever you are I bring a room down, darling, ask around I'm charming as hell in an interview, hon It's a skill that I've always possessed The bloom lasts a year on the rose then we shake hands Agreeing that it's for the best And I remember that party you threw in a costume Attended by inventive friends Nobody knew what I was supposed to be And I couldn't wait for it to end I bring a room down Darling, ask around, ask around Something about me just drives people out From my job to the bar to wherever you are I bring a room down, darling, ask around Well, I've got a feeling that I've been discussed You wanted to avoid me tonight And it's called paranoia as long as you're wrong But it's something else when you're right So I'll sit with this book I'm pretending to read I love and hate being alone And I hear how the Summer just runs from your voice The minute you realize it's me on the phone I bring a room down Darling, ask around, ask around Something about me just drives people out From my job to the bar to wherever you are I bring a room down, darling, ask around I bring a room down, darling, ask around

Oh, Charlie, you let this slide too long Oh, Charlie, you let this slide too long Every time I hear you call for me I know that something's wrong Oh, Charlie, you let this slide too long Oh, Charlie, it isn't like we said Oh, Charlie, it isn't like we said Every one of us walked like he talked and half of us are dead Oh, Charlie, it isn't like we said Oh, Charlie, you came so close it's sad Oh, Charlie, you came so close it's sad I tried to console your mother but I didn't recognize your dad Oh, Charlie, you came so close it's sad Oh, Charlie, you laid it at our feet Oh, Charlie, you laid it at our feet But it was too tricky an exit for anybody to repeat Oh, Charlie, you laid it at our feet Oh, Charlie, I'll see you when I sleep Oh, Charlie, I'll see you when I sleep One of these days I'll get around to an honest apology Oh, Charlie, I'll see you when I sleep

about

Three jerks burned down my old school. The police knew who they were and did nothing because it was an old building and hard to keep up. Parallels flow.
