Arso, did we lose you so blindly in Modesto? Did you fulfill your plans to go solo? Well if you aren't really dead then call me. But if you are really dead we're sorry. And if you aren't really dead then send a note we'll find our way out of the storm.

Arso, were you drinking that 3 dollar bourbon? Did you take to the streets like an urchin? Now it seems that you're a missing person. Yeah it seems that you've crawled behind curtains, but I'd lie if I said we've been searching hard. We'll find our way out of the storm.

Here's your suitcase and all of your clothes, we'll have to burn all of those. Here's your guitar, and your book of notes. What made you go on your own?

We know that we're on such a perilous circuit, and we all question whether it's worth it. Well if you aren't really dead then call me. But if you are really dead we're sorry. And if you aren't really dead then send a note we'll find our way out of the storm.
