Songs for tourists; some from France They like the ones with weird instruments Songs for people that I used to know They send me invites, but I never go An ode to heavy eyes, too much space Too much time to think about this awful place
I’ve got nothin’ to prove: I ain’t nothin’ but molecules I’m doin’ nothin’ but wastin’ words and breakin’ my own rules So I’ve broken a heart or two, who’s to say mine ain’t fucked? Who’s to say I mean anything to anyone?
They’re throwin’ coins in the case, I’m singin’ out your name But sayin’ the truth out loud, it just ain’t the same We’re crossin’ state lines, robbin’ rich food banks I tried to call you from a payphone last night in some southern state An ode to our traveling band whose home is the time it takes To get from gas stations to the ends of interstates
I’m livin’ in this sleepin’ bag, what city am I in? I’ve taken advantage, I miss my best friend So maybe I’ve taken you for granted, maybe it’s the mind-frame I’m in None of it means anything if you’re alone in the end
