The Hold Steady - Sequestered in Memphis Lyrics

It started when we were dancing
It got heavy when we got to the bathroom
We didn't go back to her place
We went to some place where she cat-sits
She said, "I know I look tired, but everything's fried here in Memphis"

Man, they want to know exactly which bathroom
Dude, does it make any difference?
It can't be important

Yeah, sure, I'll tell my story, again

In bar-light, she looked all right
In daylight, she looked desperate
That's all right, I was desperate too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis

I think she drove a new Mustang
I guess it might be a rental
I remember she had satellite radio
I guess she seemed a bit nervous
Do you think I'm that stupid?

Well, what the hell
I'll tell the story, again

In bar-light, she looked all right
In daylight, she looked desperate
That's all right, I was desperate, too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview

Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis

I went there on business
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
I went there on business
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
I went there on business
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
I went there on business
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
