A Snake in the Shower The Hold Steady

It seems like you’ve already decided
I don’t think that there’s much to discuss
Well, we’ve been in between places
We’ve mostly been staying at some house in the mountains her friend isn’t using
She said he used to be a pretty huge producer
He doesn’t seem that huge anymore

We found a torch in the drawer
We found the foil on the floor
There was blood on the buttons when I picked up the phone

Oh, what happens is you claw out your sensors
Then you don’t know what you should feel
And your body’s just another container
And your blood is just part of the deal

There’s scratching at the walls in the wheelhouse
And it sounded like it’s trapped under ice
Remember when we thought this was better?
There was a snake in the shower last night

We dug in pretty deep and we were almost asleep when someone put a brick through the window
Say what you will, man, I don’t think that there’s much to discuss

Battle burns, cinnamon
Colfax and Sheridan
Covered up in ticker tape
Newfangled American man
