it's late at night i let the phone ring and ring but no one picks up i try to pretend you must be asleep i try to convince myself but I know where you are and I know you're with him there ain't no secrecy i read all your diaries well I know he's more than a friend hey, lovin' ain't lyin' and lyin' ain't lovin' you say "it's true, I swear to you" but you're crossin' fingers again it's later now i stare at the ceiling fan and I follow the blades and I wish you were dead or it was a dream the two of you together but I'm not asleep there's a pain in my head i'm an unworthy student of philosophy my arguments won't change a thing i mail you proofs everyday and there's no doubt that you should stay but you'll do what you wanna do and i know that you'll go away jealousy, is what saved me from believing the lies, from doubting the truth jealousy, it's what saved me

Smokestack 04:53
we went to the cape the summer had passed there were off-season rates the smokestack we adored sat and blew smoke like never before up into the atmosphere where the sky is blue and clear and every plane's a little stain our wipers wiped away the acid rain and when i came back it had wasted away by it i mean most of the best part of day i promise to quit if you promise to stay you packed up your shit my life remained the same the same...

Bathroom 05:19

So Pretty 05:05
jesse and i were not looking so pretty we hadn't been well in awhile we ran out of cash and they ran out of pity our demeanor lacked what you'd call style alone in my room with a 100 watt lightbulb and books i can't find to read i'm scrapin' bags double-boilin' cottons i'm lookin' around for my rig well it's dull and it's bent and you can't read the numbers but nevertheless it's my friend with my belt between teeth i'm ready to be friendly once again yeah, yeah niki, oh niki, so young and so pretty your dad doesn't know what you are instead of a habit you should have a hobby like barbie or bugglegum cards well what good are the make-up and what good are makers if nothing can make you feel good jesse go, jesse run please make quick to the bad neighborhoods i'll wait for you

Coalminer 06:21
coal mine and moonshine hills of tennessee with a dirty old car hillbilly sanctuary with a dirty old car in the cab of a truck in the heart of the world. hit her if she wakes up hit her if she cries out with the butt of your gun you better cover your ass, man you better put on the gloves coal mine and moonshine you could die from the dust you could die from the rye you're sure to die when you're young but now it's time to have fun and turn the stalks into fodder she looks a little like loretta just like a coal miner's daughter coal mine moonshine hills of tennessee good ol' boys getting drunk hillbilly sanctuary

The Overcoat 09:53
up in the black hills well, I am an intensive out-patient without scripts without pills november was so cold coming down and I, well I'm all alone watching the snow fall on the pines and the smell, the smell of the stoves burning wood makes me miss better times and I'm reading the overcoat again and I feel just like a clerk maybe better but more likely it's worse nothing seems to work. semi's from the mill are rolling by with freshly cut pine they don't stop for black ice leaving the lights in this mill town behind and it's new years' eve and there's nothing to do and there's no where to go so i get a pass from my counsellor to go walk in the snow may be going in circles again but it's hard to say 'cause my tracks keep on filling up with snow and they fade away
