I thought I heard you talking in the hall.
I found you behind glass hanging on the wall.
So I closed my eyes and I reached out for your hand.
And when I felt your skin I dropped to my knees again.
Will I see you hanging around, Roxanne?
I found your records, and I found your clothes.
I found your ticket stub from the Weird Al show.
And the time keeps running, but I’m still covered in that scent;
Of your last breath.
Will I see you hanging around, Roxanne?
I started to hate you, cuz I started to know.
The last train’s pulling in and now it’s time to go.
And with my last match I started burning underneath your bed.
And now I’m outta my head, outta my head, OUTTA MY HEAD!
Will I see you hanging around, Roxanne?

Been walking the line so long, but still quite a way to go. One night I found myself in a room that I shouldn’t know. So I told you I needed to step outside, and I faded to a haze, and I lost my mind.
Manitoba on my mind. Manitoba made me blind. One day you will be mind, oh in my mind, one day you will be mine.
Not walking the walk, just thinking, to avoid a sin. And when I wake I read my lines to a means but to no end. Momma told me, but didn’t make much sense. So I drifted off to sleep. Been there ever since.
Manitoba on my mind. Manitoba made me blind. One day you will be mind, oh in my mind, one day you will be mine.
I’m tired of second chances, and ways to burn. And now turn my back on the rules I know I learned. So I told you I needed to step outside, and I faded to a haze, and I lost my mind.
Manitoba on my mind. Manitoba made me blind. One day you will be mind, oh in my mind, one day you will be mine.

Donerail Portland
Donerail, an American thoroughbred, won the biggest long shot victory in the history of the Kentucky Derby, in 1913. The
winning tickets cost two dollars and paid out $184.90.
Donerail, the Portland band, offers a different kind of payoff. It comes in the form of Velvet Underground-flavored chaos, Westerberg-like fragility and genuinely unambiguous rock ‘n roll.
