Ben Folds Five

Kalamazoo

Ran out of time

Running my mouth

Ran up a tab and

All the way from Kalamazoo

On my way back home

I was surely stoned

Now I'm sober in my yard



Can't believe I was there

Can't believe I've been anywhere else



There was a time

Almost forgot

We had been drifting

All the way to Kalamazoo

And I said that I loved you too

All the way back home



There's an old joke

I just made up

How many of me

Would it take to screw up your life?

One to settle down

One to turn you 'round

Now I'm sober in my yard



I would say you had to be there

And I regret that you're still there



Seems like you'd be frozen

Frozen there in time

Waving your goodbye

High up to the sky



Your place on the map

Has faded away

Looks to be lost in

More that one way, Kalamazoo

Don't you know that I've been there too?

And it puts your mind more at ease

If you'd say the words of release

All the way back home
