1.A Million Miles Away

Lyricist:Joey Alkes, Peter Case, Chris Fradkin

Friday night I'd just got back
I had my eyes shut
Was dreaming about the past
I thought about you while the radio played
I should have got moving
For some reason I stayed

I started drifting to a different place
I realized I was falling off the face of your world
And there was nothing left to bring me back

I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing left to bring me back today

I took a ride, I went downtown
Streets were empty
There was no one around
All the faces that we used to know
Gone from the places that we used to go

I'm at the wrong end of the looking glass
Trying to hold on to the hands of the past and you
And there's nothing left to bring me back

I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing left to bring me back today


2.Inch by Inch

Lyricist:Charlotte Caffey, Peter Case, Andrew J Williams

Lost in the dark, we're caught in slow motion
You close your eyes and let the world slip away
Before this night is done
We'll see what we've become

Day by day, inch by inch
Can we take it bit by bit?
Inch by inch, someday we'll know
Things only time can show

This night's a dream that seems like forever
Still we don't know what tomorrow will bring
What will happen if we break
Every promise that we make?

Day by day, inch by inch
Can we take it, bit by bit?
Inch by inch, someday we'll know
Things only time can show

Day by day, inch by inch
The day will come to face the facts
Tho' inch by inch, we can't look back
Take it day by day

Moving inch by inch, it seems so slow
And we've got so far to go


3.Oldest Story in the World

Lyricist:Peter Case

Yeah, it makes perfect sense
Seein' how the seeds were sown
To find you out there on your own
You said your good-byes, you broke all the ties
It struck me dumb to think I tried for you

Tonight you can feel the season changin'
You'll never change when you're
No better than the weather
You're cool, but there's rain in your heart
You're blown like a feather

And that's the oldest story in the world
You lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world

Did we have it made?
Somehow I thought we could remain
If nothing lasts no one to blame
And you can't look back
To where you got off the track
And that's a mystery that we'll never crack

It's just the oldest story in the world
Lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Someday we got to set it right
And that's the oldest story in the world
You'll hear it again and again
That's the oldest story in the world, yeah

Somehow I thought we could remain
If nothing lasts, no one to blame
And you can't look back
To where you got off the track
That's a mystery that we'll never crack

And that's the oldest story in the world
Lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Someday we got to set it right
That's the oldest story in the world
Just like a rolling stone
That's the oldest story, that's the oldest story

Now you can't go home
And that's the oldest story in the world, yeah
Well, I don't want to leave but it's time to go
Where, man, I just don't know
And that's the oldest story in the world, yeah


4.Zero Hour

Lyricist:Peter Case

There's a ring, it's getting late
The train's pulling out, there's no time to waste
Now you better move fast, yeah, you better move fast

Staple your ticket after on your shoes
Pack up your suitcase, there's no time to lose
Now you better move fast, yeah, you better move fast

It's getting late, now it's time to go
It's over the top now, it's out of control
Just a matter of time â~til the zero hour

Last time trying to get out of the bed
The phones still ringing, but it's gone to your head
Now you better move fast, yeah, you better move fast

It's time to look at the things you've done
It's time to finish, girl, what you've become
Now you better move fast, yeah, you better move fast

It's getting late, now it's time to go
It's over the top now, it's out of control
Just a matter of time â~til the zero hour

It's getting late and it's time to go
It's over the top now, it's out of control
Just a matter of time â~til the zero hour

Until the zero hour
Until the zero hour
Until the zero
