lyrics

Ashes (All Sales Final)

Got no memory, got no heart
Got my wallet out, but it’s not time to pay
Stack the newspapers in the trunk
Burn what doesn’t fit, let the ashes all blow away

It’s quiet here, it’s an empty place -- Let ashes all blow away

(All sales final)
No exceptions here
(All sales final)
Nothing comes back
All sales final (what have we heard)
No exceptions here (what have we seen)
All sales final (who have we been)
Nothing comes back (what did we dream)

Time to rest, time to work
Time to listen to gospel radio (88.5)
Keeping Mary’s son alive (just in time for your weekday drive)
News and weather will keep it all together
(Will keep the sun coming up)
Keep the clouds from rolling out, rolling out
(Will keep the sun coming up, keep the clouds from rolling out)

Thank you we appreciate your business
Is there anything we can do to make your stay more pleasant,
More relaxing, more fun
More fulfilling in the long run
More like how you pictured it would be
When you put your head on your pillow and said your prayers and you closed your eyes.
Now what can we do to make it
More like that, how can we make it more like that
What can we do

What can we hear, what can we see
Who can we be, what can we dream
To make it all just a little more like that, we want to make it all just a little more like that

A one-way ticket on a two-way train
There’s a crack in the ceiling and it’s looking like rain
It’s just too much trouble to patch it up again
It’s just too much trouble, too much trouble

No matter what you’ve heard, no matter what you’ve seen
No matter who you’ve been no matter what you’ve dreamed
All sales final
No deposit
No regrets, no plastic, no paper,
No candy cigarettes
Just gospel hour, 3 AM
Lonely radio static

(All sales final)
No exceptions here
All sales final (what have we heard)
Nothing comes back (what have we seen)
All sales final (who have we been)
No exceptions here (what did we dream)
All sales final
