Lyrics The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady

Spinners

Once she figures out what's wrong

Put another record on

She picks it up and she carries her cross

Heartbreak hurts but you can dance it off

Sure, some nights she'll curse these clubs

She's two years off some prairie town

She goes out almost every night

She dresses up and she spins around

The same guy buys another round

To let her know he's interested

The nights go on forever now

But the morning comes so quick

You've gotta loosen your grip

Never let them tie you up

It's a big city, there's a lot of love

Salted rims and frosted mugs

You gotta get back out there

Flat champagne and inbound trains

Soft hands and phantom pains

Never let them tie you up

It's a big city, there's a lot of love

Once she's pretty sure it's safe

She goes to a different place

Decides she's gonna get some guy

Before she even finds him

And she's got him if she wants him

But she can't decide if she wants him

She goes out almost every night

She cuddles up and she spins aside

He comes in much closer

And to signal he's still interested

Some nights are so complicated

Soft hands are so frustrated

She never gets in their cars

Never let them tie you up

It's a big city, there's a lot of love

Salted rims and frosted mugs

You gotta get back out there

Flat champagne and inbound trains

Soft hands and phantom pains

Never let them tie you up

It's a big city, there's a lot of love

She's two years off some prairie town

She dresses up and she spins around

Little looks and smaller talk

Heartbreak hurts but you can dance it off

She's two years off some prairie town

She dresses up and she spins around

She never lets them tie her down

It's a big city and there's just so much love

Once you're out there, everything's possible

Even the bad nights, they aren't all that terrible

Loosen your grip, it feels so incredible

Let the city live your life for you tonight

Never let them tie you up

It's a big city, there's a lot of love

Salted rims and frosted mugs

It's a big city
