the hold steady | magazines

she’s always funny in the morning. she isn’t always funny in the night.
once she gets a couple drinks in,
she’s probably gonna tell you you ain’t doing anything right.
then you’ll roll your eyes, and then you’ll probably fight.
she mainly trades in adoration. she gets pretty wasted at the celebrations,
the benefits and the building dedications.

it’s always sunny in the morning. it sucks around the ending of the night.
when she storms out of the restaurant, i think you’re supposed to chase her to the lights.

one boy hits her like a tambourine. the other disses me on her message machine.
magazines and daddy issues.
i know you’re pretty pissed, i hope you still let me kiss you.

i hope you’ll still let me kiss you.

one boy calls while the other texts, she’s got boys on board and boys on deck.
second dates and lipstick tissues.
new york gets pretty heavy. girl, i hope it doesn’t crush you.

there’s strings attached to every single lover, oh they still can’t even tether us together.

the hold steady | citrus

hey citrus, hey liquor
i love it when you touch each other
hey whiskey, hey ginger
i come to you with rigid fingers.

i see judas in the hard eyes of the boys working the corners.
i feel jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers.

hey barroom, hey tavern
i find hope in all the souls you gather.
hey citrus, hey liquor
i love it when we come together.

i feel jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers.
i feel judas in the long odds of the rackets on the corners.
i feel jesus in the tenderness of honest nervous lovers.
i feel judas in the pistols and the pagers that come with all the powders.

lost in fog and love and faithless fear.
i’ve had kisses that make judas seem sincere.
