"Downtown"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

She's downtown
Lies in the street
Been lying in the sheets
She's gone home
Lies in the street
Been lying in the bed
Through her teeth
Stares at his sky
Going blind, going blind
Step on corners, pick up puzzles
Eating all the grain
It was just a date in '80, now I can't remember the face
But I can... see the... still... I see his... of the... and, and, and
I'm a little bored and a little scared, I come home
I look up to see all the noise, I, I, I
I, I, I
Can't remember now, can't remember now...
I can't
She's seeing everyone stares at her
Spreads that love around and leaves
Can't even catch the face
Don't think you can grab the face
So I left.
She's downtown
Lies in the sheets
Been lying in her sleep
To his face
She's gone home
Lies in the street
Been lying in the bed
Through her teeth
Don't have to be so brave
Here he comes...

Don't worry, dance in the road.
