The Hold Steady Party Pit
I guess I met her at the Party Pit…?
She said those kids she’s with were selling it,
so we sailed off on some separate trips.
She got pinned down at the Party Pit.
I went to away school, that fall;
she stuck around with all those stick-pin dolls,
sped through the scene until the engine stalled
at some suburban shopping mall.
Sailed away on such separate trips,
and she got pinned down at the Party Pit.
Sailed away on such separate trips,
and she got pinned down at the Party Pit.
And I came back to start a band, of course.
I saw her walkin’ through the Crystal Court;
she made a scene by the revolving doors.
She’s gonna walk around and drink, some more.
So we walked across that gray, Mill Bridge
in a brand-new Minneapolis.
She said, “I think that all those things I did
were just momentum from the Party Pit.”
Sailed away on such separate trips,
and she got pinned down at the Party Pit.
Sailed away on such separate trips,
and she got pinned down at the Party Pit.
Sailed away on such separate trips,
and she got pinned down at the Party Pit.
Sailed away on such separate trips,
and she got pinned down…and I’m pretty sure we kissed…
And I’m pretty sure we kissed. Gonna walk around and drink, some more.
