The Hold Steady - Hornets! Hornets! lyrics

She says "Always remember never to trust me"
Ah, 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
Yea, he knew 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 it's 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
And almost died up by Edina High
