The Hold Steady - Hornets! Hornets! lyrics

She said always remember never to trust me She said that the first night that she met me She said there's gonna come a time when I'm gonna have to go With whoever's gonna get me the highest She said I won't be much for conversation If we go and do the rest of this And I've never been much for conservation I kinda dig these awkward silences She's got those Bones Brigade videos She knew them back and forth, she slept with so many skaters She had the place to herself, she had a couple hundred bucks And he had nothing but the number I like the guy who always answers the door He always knows what you came to his house for She said I won't be much for all this humbert humbert stuff I've never really done that much of this And I have to really try so hard not to fall in love I have to concentrate when we kiss She mouthed the words along to "Running Up That Hill" That song got scratched into her soul And he never heard that song before but he still got the metaphor He knows some people that switched places before I like the crowds at the really big shows People touching people that they don't even know, yo I guess the heavy stuff ain't quite at its heaviest By the time it gets out to suburban Minneapolis We were living up at Nicollet and 66th With three skaters and some hoodrat chick Drove the wrong way down 169 Almost died up by Edina High
