The Hold Steady - Hanover Camera lyrics
[The Hold Steady - Hanover Camera lyrics]
The lighting made it look
Like she’s been captured
Sitting up and staring into space
Suddenly she turned to me and said
"You seem pretty harmless"
The dosage was open for debate
The party with the python in the shower
Heather with the henna on her hands
Once we started mixing it
With sodium bicarbonate
We got backstage and hung out with the band
I went down around the Fisherman
I was looking for a hook
I was hoping that I'd
Find something by lunchtime
The coolest part about her was
She had hеr own apartment
It's still an inconvenient placе to die
The party with the python in the shower
Heather with the henna on her hands
Once we started mixing it
With sodium bicarbonate
We got backstage and hung out with the band
They said
"You're the one that really makes it happen
If you're ever on the west
Coast give a shout"
The manager asked if we'd break
Off a little package
The singer put his finger in my mouth
We were up against the miracle
Maxed out every night
Our knees were shot from way too many prayers
I swear I saw soldiers
Selling single cigarettes
Stationed about halfway up the stairs
Yeah sure
At certain speeds it all becomes a blur
And we're friends
But it seems a little soft along the edge
And it starts
Once she turns the torch into the dark
It ends once she puts her hand over the lens
I remember you were tender when you
Tried to make it better
You sang to me that song about the shipwreck
The hand that held the camera
Was trying not to tremble
The lighting made her look
Like she's a hostage
Yeah sure
At certain speeds we all feel insecure
Yeah sure
The borderlines they smear into a blur
It starts
We sing and put our hands over our hearts
It ends
When Heather puts the cap back on the lens
Like she’s been captured
Sitting up and staring into space
Suddenly she turned to me and said
"You seem pretty harmless"
The dosage was open for debate
The party with the python in the shower
Heather with the henna on her hands
Once we started mixing it
With sodium bicarbonate
We got backstage and hung out with the band
I went down around the Fisherman
I was looking for a hook
I was hoping that I'd
Find something by lunchtime
The coolest part about her was
She had hеr own apartment
It's still an inconvenient placе to die
The party with the python in the shower
Heather with the henna on her hands
Once we started mixing it
With sodium bicarbonate
We got backstage and hung out with the band
