Nanny Diaries movie - Stuck Between Stations lyrics

rate me

Song by The Hold Steady<br /><br>

There are nights when I think Sal Paradise was right.<br>

Boys and Girls in America have such a sad time together.<br>

Sucking off each other at the demonstrations<br>

Making sure their makeup’s straight<br>

Crushing one another with colossal expectations.<br>

Dependent, undisciplined, and sleeping late.<br>

<br>

She was a really cool kisser and she wasn’t all that strict of a Christian.<br>

She was a damn good dancer but she wasn’t all that great of a girlfriend.<br>

She likes the warm feeling but she’s tired of all the dehydration.<br>

Most nights are crystal clear<br>

But tonight it’s like it’s stuck between stations<br>

On the radio.<br>

<br>

The devil and John Berryman<br>

Took a walk together.<br>

They ended up on Washington<br>

Talking to the river.<br>

He said “I’ve surrounded myself with doctors<br>

And deep thinkers.<br>

But big heads with soft bodies<br>

Make for lousy lovers.”<br>

There was that night that we thought John Berryman could fly.<br>

But he didn’t<br>

So he died.<br>

She said “You’re pretty good with words<br>

But words won’t save your life.”<br>

And they didn’t.<br>

So he died.<br>

<br>

He was drunk and exhausted but he was critically acclaimed and respected.<br>

He loved the Golden Gophers but he hated all the drawn out winters.<br>

He likes the warm feeling but he’s tired of all the dehydration<br>

Most nights were kind of fuzzy<br>

But that last night he had total retention.<br>

<br>

These Twin Cities kisses<br>

Sound like clicks and hisses.<br>

We all tumbled down and<br>

Drowned in the Mississippi River.<br>

<br>

We drink<br>

We dry up<br>

Then we crumble to dust<br>

<br>
