Sequestered in Memphis - The Hold Steady

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

Now they wanna know exactly which bathroom

Dude, does it make any difference?

It can’t be important

Yeah sure, I’ll tell my story again

In barlight, she looked alright

In daylight, she looked desperate

That’s alright, I was desperate too

I’m getting pretty sick of this interview

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?

What the hell, I’ll tell the story again

In barlight, she looked alright

In daylight, she looked desperate

That’s alright, I was desperate too

I’m getting pretty sick of this interview

Subpoenaed in Texas

Sequestered in Memphis

I went there on business
