The Bravery - Red Hands and White Knuckles lyrics

She could be found out dancin' At Ludlow St. and Stanton Oh you should've seen her Shake it up like Orangina And even though she's a liar We got on like a house on fire Even though she's my friend We never knew when to say when Every little move she made Was a ticker tape parade And everything she'd say Was a national holiday And even though she's a liar No one ever got me higher And even though she's my friend We never knew when to say when With red hands and white knuckles I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on With red hands and white knuckles I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on She was at Thompskin Square Staring at the gra** Trying to make her eyes turn green But it never last And even though she's a liar No one ever got me higher 'Cause we never knew when to say when Even though she was my friend With red hands and white knuckles I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on With red hands and white knuckles I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on Over on 5th and C She got her beers for free And every time I came in there She always laughed at me She said, "Who's this child in here?" You look like you teach math Your appled eyes betray You've never known loneliness With red hands and white knuckles I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on With red hands and white knuckles I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
