Uh-huh
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, heh
(We need some help on aisle 10)

I see you at my job
(Uh-huh)
You carrying yourself so well
(So well)
I made myself a promise
(What's that?)
Not to get emotional
(Uh-huh)

As I remain stable
(Stable)
I take another glance at you
(At you)
If we were at the disco, whoa-whoa
Then I would have to dance with you
This isn't cool
(Not cool)

And in my lonely eyes
I see myself in elequant strives
(Elequant strives)
In a dark tuxedo
Ego's nothing to her
(What-what?)

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle 10
(We need some help in aisle 10)

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle 10
(Check it out)

I see you, about a quarter after nine
(After nine)
You shining the neon sign
Where are you from?
(From)
You floating like an angel of the night
Until the light
(Light)
And leave me with this song to write

And now I'm loaded, holding my sack
Yo, wonder now where she is at
With a line of customers getting mad
They didn't see what I seen
(Nuh-uh)
The store queen made it easier
For one fine he
(One fine he)

And in my bloodshot eyes
All I can see is every thing's fine
(Every thing's fine)
With a turning stomach
Running thoughts through my head
(Come on)

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle 10
(We need some help in aisle 10)

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle 10
(Ah haa)

You came in here again
(Again)
(Wha-what?)
I'm drinking by the copier
(Copier)
I made myself a promise
(Now what was that?)
That I would finally talk to her
(Haha)

As I remain stable
(Stable)
I take another drink for you
(For you)
I set it on the table, whoa-whoa
I'm sure I look a drunken fool
I see it too
(Whoa)

And in my lonely eyes
I see myself in elequant strives
In a dark tuxedo
Ego's nothing to her
(Wha-wha-what?)

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
(Come on, come on)
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle 10
(We need some help in aisle 10)

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
(Ah haa)
I haven't been the same man
(Come on, come on)
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle 10
(We need some help in aisle 10)

Hello, Allison
On aisle 10, aisle 10, aisle 10
Yeah-heh, yeah-heh, aisle 10
We need some help on aisle 10
Hello, Allison
Ooh, whoa-oh-oh, ooh, yeah-e-yeah
Ooh, whoa-oh-oh
Hello, Allison
Yeah

Hello, Allison
I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Hello, Allison
I saw you comin' in
Hello, Allison
Ooh, yeah-e-yeah, whoa-oh-oh
Hello, Allison

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
