86 (Bonus Track, at Letterman Late Show, New York, November 9th, 1995)

The lyrics address someone who has come back to a place or situation where they are no longer welcome. The speaker’s tone is sharp and dismissive, and the repeated warning that there is “no return” makes the rejection feel final. As the song develops, the message shifts from questioning the visitor to urging them to leave and not come back.

Several images make the rejection vivid. The missing thing is said to be buried with the visitor’s “identity,” suggesting that what they seek may be inseparable from who they were—or may be impossible to recover. “Let the next one pass” implies that someone else is ready to take their place. The instruction to catch the last train out of town turns leaving into a concrete escape, while “don’t let the door kick you” is a blunt, familiar way to tell someone to get out before they are forced out.

The lyrics do not explain who the visitor is or what “86” specifically refers to. It can be understood here as a sign of being excluded or permanently dismissed, but the song leaves the exact situation open. The speaker may be addressing a person, or using that encounter to express a broader refusal to revisit the past.
