Walking into DeKalb County Light on 88 burns before me Was it ever working for you? Someone once said "all things must pass" Seeing is believing What are you receiving Believing's deceiving What are you receiving Was it ever working for you? do the one thing that you're told to What's this feeling that's coming over me now someone once said "all of this will pass."

See her exit the city via the interstate she's got it together and I might feel better i'm writing northern illinois a long letter then i'll try to forget her and erase what we shared together take a number, stand in line but she refuses to wait can't help but admire the fire inside her i'm keeping warm by the fire that's inside her and i will not fight her she's leaving today moving up to Shabonna starting today and it means everything

Headlights 03:11
Keep your headlights on keep them on til dawn you'll be home by then smash the toys in the lawn this whole place is a yawn it's been just a like pen you'll find no justice within the armies of tin men will start all over again there's no need to drown in the turbulent sounds of the city of sin in a girl's eyes, streets crumble the mountains rise ...and i'm living again there are thousands of people all over the world they'll charm the pants off of you they'll charm the pants off your girl do your best to avoid addiction have a drink - but not too many i'll have one of what you're mixing you look just like a vixen i wish that you were the one that i was kissing keep your headlights on keep them on til dawn you'll be home by then

about

the first Resident Genius EP. Clearly, the production and songwriting improved markedly after this album. Still, this is the ep that planted the seeds, defined the roles, etc.

Michael Mayosky did the artwork in about an hour if memory serves. Good stuff.
