The Hold Steady - The Only Thing lyrics
[The Hold Steady - The Only Thing lyrics]
Once you cut her loose
I knew that she would leave
For a while I couldn't breathe
I couldn't even breathe
Sure she's still with you
But first she was with me
What tangled webs we weave
She said some things I don't believe
She's sleeping at a storage
Space by the airport
The only thing she talks about is TV
The only thing that tethers us together
Is the thing that most matters at
The end of the night
Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight
Flying all around like a fist in a fight
Tired of always feeling frustrated
This town was so much fun
When there weren't so much police
We didn't have to watch our speed
First she's down in Texas
Then she went back to Tennessee
What tangled webs we weave
For a while I couldn't breathe
I couldn't even breathe
She's sleeping at a storage
Space by the airport
The only thing she talks about is TV
The only thing that tethers us together
Are these dreams
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
In my dreams
It's the thing that most matters at
The end of the night
Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight
Floating all around like a nurse in the night
Tired of always feeling frustrated
She's been senseless she's been sad
It got bad around March or April
Then I thought it got better
She's been wasted she's been honest
She's got a necklace it
Looks pretty expensive
I'd like to know where she got it
Sure she's still with you
But first she was with me
I've been trying to get in touch with her
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
She's sleeping at a storage
Space by the airport
The only thing she talks about is TV
The only thing that tethers us together
Are these dreams
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
I knew that she would leave
For a while I couldn't breathe
I couldn't even breathe
Sure she's still with you
But first she was with me
What tangled webs we weave
She said some things I don't believe
She's sleeping at a storage
Space by the airport
The only thing she talks about is TV
The only thing that tethers us together
Is the thing that most matters at
The end of the night
Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight
Flying all around like a fist in a fight
Tired of always feeling frustrated
This town was so much fun
When there weren't so much police
We didn't have to watch our speed
First she's down in Texas
Then she went back to Tennessee
What tangled webs we weave
For a while I couldn't breathe
I couldn't even breathe
She's sleeping at a storage
Space by the airport
The only thing she talks about is TV
The only thing that tethers us together
Are these dreams
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
In my dreams
It's the thing that most matters at
The end of the night
Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight
Floating all around like a nurse in the night
Tired of always feeling frustrated
She's been senseless she's been sad
It got bad around March or April
Then I thought it got better
She's been wasted she's been honest
She's got a necklace it
Looks pretty expensive
I'd like to know where she got it
Sure she's still with you
But first she was with me
I've been trying to get in touch with her
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
She's sleeping at a storage
Space by the airport
The only thing she talks about is TV
The only thing that tethers us together
Are these dreams
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
