The Hold Steady - Star 18 lyrics

[The Hold Steady - Star 18 lyrics]

I know we made plans to meet in Spokane
But the way I make plans
You gotta take it with a grain of salt
Got jammed in Alabama and I was trying
To get all of it resolved
I'm sure it seems like it's a perfect fit
But trust me, man, 'cause I've been up in it
And at dawn I had to crawl
Back home through the quicksilver sprawl
To tell the truth, if I were you
I'd rather sleep over than telecommute
'Cause when you're in the same room
I think we make a much better connection

Hemingway at Cafe Select
Donna Summer in the discotheque
Once you get good
You can get it wherever you are
Sloppy city in the upper deck
Trippin' hard on the self-neglect
Now let me hold the money


'cause he wants you to wait in the car

Sorry I'm late, I got caught in a mosh
With this dude who said he used
To play with Peter Tosh
But he never brought it up
Again once I said, man, i don't believe you
And I looked over this great expanse
And I saw some kid pissin'
On his parachute pants
And in one split second I figured out
That he was one of your crew
The amphetamines did what the amphetamines do
And she was chewing through her
Cheek at the National Zoo
And the dress she was wearing made
A nice case for natural selection

So hold Steady at the Comfort Inn
Mick Jagger's at the Mandarin
Once you get good
You can get it wherever you are
Notify the next of kin
Mariel Hemingway with perfect skin
And some creep with a camera who said
He's gonna make you a star
You gotta wait in the car

Once upon a time I had a meeting
With a man in a mansion
He pulled a few strings just to
Demonstrate how it's all connected

Disseminating from a central source
Hemingway on the Ketchum porch
Once you get good
You can get it wherever you are
So hit me back when it's back in style
Star 18 on the rotary dial
And let me hold the money 'cause he
Wants you to wait in the car
You gotta wait in the car
