Letra Hornets! hornets! The Hold Steady

Hornets! hornets!

She said always remember never to trust me.
she said that the first night she met me.
she said there's gonna be a time when i'm gonna have to go with whoever's gonna get me the highest.

she said i won't be much for conversation if we go and do the rest of this.
she said i've never been much for conservation.
i kinda dig these awkward silences.
she's got those bones brigade videos.
she knew them back and forth.
she's slept with so many skaters.
she had the place to herself.
she had a couple hundred bux.
and he had nothing but the number.
she said i like the guy who always answers the door.
he never asks you what you came to his house for.
she said i won't be much for all this humbert humbert stuff.
i've never done so much of this.
i have to try so hard not to fall in love.
i have to concentrate when we kiss.
she mouthed the words along to "running up that hill." that song got scratched into her soul.
he's never heard the song before.
but still he gets the metaphor.
he knows some people that switched places before.
she said i really like the crowds at the really big shows.
people touching people that they don't even know, yo.

i guess the heavy stuff ain't quite at its heaviest by the time it gets out to suburban minneapolis.
we were living up at nicollet and 66th.
with 3 skaters and some hoodrat chick.
drove the wrong way down 169.
almost died up by edina high.
