Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a pay phone
This turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone

Trying to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls

"Well everybody's dying, this town's closing down
They're all sittin' down at the courthouse waiting for 'em to take the flag down"

The Fuse
"Down at the court house they're ringin' the flag down"

Long Walk Home
"You know that flag flying over the courthouse"

A face you know staring back from the shop window...

Virtually the entire theme/lyrics from Missing and You're Missing:

MISSING

Woke up this morning, was a chill in the air
Went into the kitchen, your cigarettes were lying there
Your jacket hung on the chair where you left it last night
Everything was in place, everything was all right
But you were missing
Missing...

Last night I dreamed the sky went black
You were drifting down and you couldn't get back
You were lost and in trouble so far from home
I reached for you, my arms went to stone
I woke and you were missing
Missing...

I searched for something to explain
In the whispering rain, the trembling leaves
Tell me baby where did you go
You were here just a moment ago

There's nights I still hear your footsteps fall
Your key in the door, your voice in the hall
Your smell drifts through our bedroom
I wake, but I don't move


YOU'RE MISSING

Shirts in the closet, shoes in the hall
Mama's in the kitchen, baby and all
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Coffee cups on the counter, jackets on the chair
Papers on the doorstep, you're not there
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Pictures on the nightstand, TV's on in the den
Your house is waiting, your house is waiting
For you to walk in, for you to walk in
But you're missing, you're missing
You're missing when I shut out the lights
You're missing when I close my eyes
You're missing when I see the sun rise
You're missing

Children are asking if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight?

Morning is morning, the evening falls I have
Too much room in my bed, too many phone calls
How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missing

God's drifting in heaven, devil's in the mailbox
I got dust on my shoes, nothing but teardrops

'He travels fastest who travels alone'

Valentines day
Lucky man

Damn you SJ I was going to post that today.
