Hold Steady (The)

T-shirt Tux
There's that girl from your work and she's here with some guy He's got a t-shirt tux and a piano key tie The rest of us were rolling our eyes At the handshake he did with the doorman But that's how he gets the stuff that makes him feel so important And we all need something to get thru the night 'Cause the kitchen gets hot and the fingers get fried A Pontius Pilate played to the crowd And they all thought they knew what they wanted And everyone's sorry when they see that it's dawn I assumed that's the reason we do this? And me and the guy with the piano key tie Are probably going to play right thru this Tiny little triumphs. Massive bloody failures I heard that there are sailors who dread coming ashore I guess it's true. It's true I guess But tonight I fear my sensors aren't receiving at their best And everyone's acting like they hate that they're here Baring their teeth and sharpening spears The stuff that they put in the punchbowl tonight Makes it too hard to pay much attention But your war of attrition turned out to be a major attraction Letras de cancionesA boy and a girl were draining their beers He said Stalin was a weatherman to start his career Johnny Cash was in the service When the news came thru the wire And it's weird how you feel when bad people die She said yeah I guess, whatever All your fun little facts are never going to keep us together We'll all be doomed once we leave this room We spinning thru the turnstiles and we're sleeping in our shoes We're sad and stoned when were all hooked up at home But when we leave the house we're homesick Got the disconnection blues There were multiple dispensers And some friends we couldn't use There's a candle on the table There's a photo on the fridge There's a bunch of things we said we're going to do Then never did Sometimes it's all slippery sidewalks And trying to find a place to park Turning on a burner That never catches spark They said everything's perception But that's not really right Let's all try to tell a little truth tonight Let's all try to tell a little truth tonight From Letras Mania
