Tonight We Leave Chicago
------------------------
(words and music by The Slip)

maybe this hotel has cast a spell
I can't move, there's too many rooms
and the fumes of chemical sanitation laid me out

tonight the show's in Buffalo
we gotta open, I was kinda hoping
the spell would lift before the star sang
"That's Just the Way it Is"

see it's now or now
you need to know
you need to show you know
because before the dawn we gotta go
we gotta lot of miles to [next gig town]

and knowing where to run to
when the music's done
there's really only one place
that I can see myself
and that's with you

you won't find me
half asleep with half the haunted heart that have to hold the hands of
you won't find me

tonight we leave chicago
out the window
past the fire escape
st. louis waits at the gates on the Rio

you won't find me
two small words i used to use
confused
outside the path we choose
you won't find me
half a ?, half a ?
you won't find me

two small words i always use to confuse
the sight that it disappears with fumes
?(sounds like a dropout in the tape)
and one is hope
