I´ve been keeping track of everything
Notes and maps of where I´ve been
Somehow I´ve always found
I way to sleep through unfamiliar sounds
I lost myself in FM airwaves
And found a way to keep my mind straight
I´m living well, at least in my head
And letting go of what you said

Everybody come a little bit closer
Everybody sing a little bit louder
We run this town tonight

So keep your fingers crossed
Hide them behind you back
I´ll hold my breath
And let you fill the room
With smoke and mirrors things look clearer
Just don´t panic
So chase your words with your tongue
´Cause you can´t avoid me now

I lost track of the little things
The cliques at home and the guilt they bring
Somehow I figured out
How well you keep your secrets now

I guess I´ll keep it on the tip of my tongue
Another verse that won´t be sung
Is bitterness supposed to taste this sweet to me?

Everybody come a little bit closer
Everybody sing a little bit louder
We run this town tonight

So keep your fingers crossed
Hide them behind you back
I´ll hold my breath
And let you fill the room
With smoke and mirrors things look clearer
Just don´t panic
So chase your words with your tongue
´Cause you can´t avoid me now

Lights out Poughkeepsie
You´ll be just fine without me
Tell me the stories when I get home

Everybody come a little bit closer
Everybody sing a little bit louder
We run this town tonight

So keep your fingers crossed
Hide them behind you back
I´ll hold my breath
And let you fill the room
With smoke and mirrors things look clearer
Just don´t panic

So keep your fingers crossed
Hide them behind you back
I´ll hold my breath
And let you fill the room
With smoke and mirrors things look clearer
Just don´t panic
So chase your words with your tongue
Because you can´t avoid me
Because you can´t avoid me
