The Hold Steady - The Weekenders lyrics

There was that whole weird thing with the horses
I think they know exactly what happened
I don't think it needs any explaining
I'm pretty sure I wasn't your first choice
I think I was the last one remaining
I wish we hadn't gone and destroyed it
'Cause I was thinking we could pull another weekender
If you've still got a little bit of clairvoyance

I remember the metal bar
I remember the reservoir
You could say our paths have crossed before

So if it has to be a secret
Then I guess that I can deal with it
You and I both know it's a negative thing
In the end only the girls know the whole truth

There were a couple pretty crass propositions
There were some bugs in the bars
There was a kid camped out by the coat check
She said the theme of this party is the industrial age
You came in dressed like a train wreck

I remember the OT
The five second delivery
You could say our paths have crossed before

So if it has to be a secret
Then I guess that I can deal with it
God only knows it's not always a positive thing
To see a few seconds into the future
