The Last Time That She Talked to Me The Hold Steady

Walked around forever tryin' to find some other bank machine
That wasn't gonna hit me with a service fee
I just remembered it was January Second
'Cause everyone was throwin' out their Christmas tree

I can't ever figure out whoever's in the party house
I'm out here on the front lawn with a head wound
Yeah sure, you're gonna move out to the city
Forgive me if I don't believe you
I never did believe you

In the gardens all the trees were strung with speakers
They drowned us in the hiss of tambourines
I stumbled on some stunning new sincerity
It was the first time that I really felt the speed
It was the last time that she talked to me

Didn't realize when I scouted the location
That I was standing with her new man
And of course he made a joke about the jumpsuit
When the band went into Caravan

If that's the clever that gets her at the buzzer
I guess that I was buzzing up the wrong tree
I wasn't half as bad as what she must've thought I was
The last time that she talked to me
The last time that she talked to me
