	We used to live by a steel mill half buried under vines where we'd look at the support beams stretching up to the sky and we wondered if back then they knew that all their infrastructure would one day just be shade or a place to smoke under when it rains at the dying of the day I go back to that apartment, if i know that she's away and i sit on the counter in the kitchen and look how its changed well her bed remembers the shape of our slumber and I can find our impressions on the walls and the floorboards but this old house don't remember my name anymore On the border of the city and the wilderness Where hustler magazines hide like treasure in every house I stake my claim and head back home again Well tonight I went downtown and met the wrong kind of friend She said sometimes a town can make a couple bad bets you can see it on the faces of its residents if you can recognize them well these strip malls sprawl out like a body in the summer and these dashboards in the parking lot still sweat under the weather but this old town don't remember my name anymore On the bar car You can find abandoned memoirs scribbled out on napkins the first and second drafts scattered and spent in the passenger cabins while the patrons wax ugly on romance, their dreams of the harbor the shipwrecks under the surface was it worth it this old train don't remember my name anymore
