07 \| Letter Never Sent
It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home This letter never sent And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live (Another story, another story for a while, someone show me) When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?

(chorus 1) From the inside room when the front room greeting Becomes your special book, it was simple then When the party lulls, if we fall by the side (chorus 2) Will you be remembered? will she be remembered?

09 \| (Don't Go Back To) Rockville
Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself I know it might sound strange, but I believe You'll be coming back before too long (chorus) Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville And waste another year At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend I don't care if you're not here with me 'Cause it's so much easier to handle All my problems if I'm too far out to sea But something better happen soon Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back (repeat chorus) It's not as though I really need you If you were here I'd only bleed you But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and That's not how it ought to be I know it might sound strange, but I believe You'll be coming back before too long (repeat chorus 2x)
10 \| Little America
I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelery, again Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in tree beer tar-black brer sap, The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, is the The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost Who will tend the farm museums? Who will dust today's belongings? Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens? Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led? The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, is the The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, is the A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap, Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle, The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, is the The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, is the The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost
