Sequestered In Memphis

The Hold Steady

Compositor: Não Disponível

It started when we were dancin'
It got heavy
when we got to the bathroom.
We didn't go back to her place,
We went to some place
where she cat-sits.
She said,
"I know I look tired
but everything's fried
here in Memphis."

Man, they want to know
exactly which bathroom
Dude,
does it make any difference?
It can't be important

Yeah, sure
I'll tell my story, again

In bar-light, she looked all right;
In daylight, she looked desperate
That's all right, I was desperate, too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview.

I think she drove a new Mustang
I guess it might be a rental
I remember she had satellite radio
I guess she seemed a bit nervous,
Do you think I'm that stupid?
Well, what the hell?

I'll tell the story, again

In bar-light, she looked all right;
In daylight, she looked desperate
That's all right, I was desperate, too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview
