The Hold Steady - Criminal Fingers lyrics

Don't you get tired of Revelation songs
1988 was a long time ago
Your uptown friends came by
The bar last night
They tried to take away the stereo

Wednesday night I saw you
Riding 'round with Walter
We all know what you were looking for
Your uptown friends came by
The bar last night
They want to know if I know where you are

I said you said you'd been thinking
Thinking about trying to take a break
They said they heard you've been staying
On Columbus between 28th and Lake
I did not know what to say
I did not know how to play it

Doing dishes in the kitchen I had


The first of many visions
I see trouble for the both of us
The cops stoppеd by when I was opening up
This whole thing seems kind of dangеrous

They said they came to the
Place you're staying at
You went out the window and since
Then no one's seen you
I wish that you'd think about your daughter
Because no girl needs her father
Riding around with Walter

I know the bar isn't safe
We should probably get together
We should probably get our story straight
Because if they take you away
This time I don't think that
I can wait for you

I don't think I can wait for you
This time I don't think that
I can wait for you

Wednesday night I saw you
Riding around with Walter
We all know what you were looking for
