The Hold Steady - Spinners lyrics
[The Hold Steady - Spinners lyrics]
Before she figures out what's wrong
Put another record on
She picks it up and she carries a cross
Heartbreak hurts but you can dance it off
Sure, some night she'll curse these clubs
She's two years off some prairie town
She goes out most every night
She dresses up and she spins around
The same guy buys another round
To let her know he's interested
The nights go on forever now
But the morning comes up quick
You've got to loosen your grip
Never let them tie you up
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Salted rims and frosted mugs
You gotta get back out there
Flat champagne and inbound trains
Soft hands and phantom pains
Never let them tie you up
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Once she's pretty sure it's safe
She goes to a different place
Decides she's gonna get some guy
Before she even finds him
Then she's got him if she wants him
But she can't decide if she wants him
She goes out almost every night
She cuddles up and she spins aside
He comes in, much closer in
To signal he's still interested
Some nights are so complicated
Soft hands are so frustrated
She never gets in their cars
She's two years off some prairie town
She dresses up and she spins around
Little looks and smaller talk
Heartbreak hurts but you can dance it off
She's two years off some prairie town
She dresses up and she spins around
She never lets them tie her down
It's a big city
And there's just so much love
Once you're out there everything's possible
Might be a fight, there might be a miracle
Loosen your grip, it feels so incredible
Let the city live your life for you tonight
Once you're out there everything's possible
And even the bad nights
They aren't all that terrible
Loosen your grip, it feels so incredible
Let the city live your life for you tonight
Never let them tie you up
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Salted rims and frosted mugs
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Tavern wine and tiny bugs
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Never let them tie you up it's a big city
Put another record on
She picks it up and she carries a cross
Heartbreak hurts but you can dance it off
Sure, some night she'll curse these clubs
She's two years off some prairie town
She goes out most every night
She dresses up and she spins around
The same guy buys another round
To let her know he's interested
The nights go on forever now
But the morning comes up quick
You've got to loosen your grip
Never let them tie you up
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Salted rims and frosted mugs
You gotta get back out there
Flat champagne and inbound trains
Soft hands and phantom pains
Never let them tie you up
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Once she's pretty sure it's safe
She goes to a different place
Decides she's gonna get some guy
Before she even finds him
Then she's got him if she wants him
But she can't decide if she wants him
She goes out almost every night
She cuddles up and she spins aside
He comes in, much closer in
To signal he's still interested
Some nights are so complicated
Soft hands are so frustrated
She never gets in their cars
She's two years off some prairie town
She dresses up and she spins around
Little looks and smaller talk
Heartbreak hurts but you can dance it off
She's two years off some prairie town
She dresses up and she spins around
She never lets them tie her down
It's a big city
And there's just so much love
Once you're out there everything's possible
Might be a fight, there might be a miracle
Loosen your grip, it feels so incredible
Let the city live your life for you tonight
Once you're out there everything's possible
And even the bad nights
They aren't all that terrible
Loosen your grip, it feels so incredible
Let the city live your life for you tonight
Never let them tie you up
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Salted rims and frosted mugs
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Tavern wine and tiny bugs
It's a big city, there's a lot of love
Never let them tie you up it's a big city
