The Hold Steady - Confusion in the Marketplace lyrics
[The Hold Steady - Confusion in the Marketplace lyrics]
Princess came to breakfast looking
Puffy from the Prednisone
Someone's little sister had me
Marching to the metronome
The Maharaji's on the mountain
With a megaphone
Reaching for the secrets in the
Static on the stereo
There's something funny about the place
That all the money goes
Coughing up the offering and
In between his toes
Knew a couple kids from when
I still went to shows
All the little hornets forming
Swarms around the honeycomb
Searching for a purpose or just
Something we can celebrate
People take advantage of confusion
In the marketplace
Hard to have much faith when they
Can't keep their story straight
Came back from the mission and her
Hair was in her mouth again
It's just another part of her
Don't want to take the medicine
She won't miss the city but
She'll miss all the friends
Said vice versa for me, man
Vice versa for me
Searching for a purpose or just
Something we can celebrate
People take advantage of confusion
In the marketplace
I'll distract the manager and you
Obscure the license plates
Princess on the payphone with an
Angle on some Western states
We can take advantage of
Confusion in the marketplace
I don't wanna dick around
I just want to devastate
Scoping out some dynamite and
Seeing if it detonates
People take advantage of confusion
In the marketplace
You can turn the circles, yeah
And I can pull the parking brake
Princess on the payphone with an
Angle on some Western states
We can take advantage of
Confusion in the marketplace
I don't wanna dick around
I just want to devastate
Puffy from the Prednisone
Someone's little sister had me
Marching to the metronome
The Maharaji's on the mountain
With a megaphone
Reaching for the secrets in the
Static on the stereo
There's something funny about the place
That all the money goes
Coughing up the offering and
In between his toes
Knew a couple kids from when
I still went to shows
All the little hornets forming
Swarms around the honeycomb
Searching for a purpose or just
Something we can celebrate
People take advantage of confusion
In the marketplace
Hard to have much faith when they
Can't keep their story straight
Came back from the mission and her
Hair was in her mouth again
It's just another part of her
Don't want to take the medicine
She won't miss the city but
She'll miss all the friends
Said vice versa for me, man
Vice versa for me
Searching for a purpose or just
Something we can celebrate
People take advantage of confusion

I'll distract the manager and you
Obscure the license plates
