Ask Her For Adderall - The Hold Steady

“I’m in love with my anxiety.”

andrewmcclain:

hornets! hornets! by the hold steady

she mouthed the words along to “running up that hill” 
that song got scratched into her soul
he’s never heard that song before
but he still gets the metaphor
he knows some people that switched places before
she said i really like the crowds at the really big shows
people touching people that they don’t even know

I’m still not quite sure what this meme is all about, but I figured I’d give it a shot.

the Hold Steady - Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night

I spent a good part of this weekend drunk, and once I’m drunk I either want to listen to this or Motley Crue. It’s a good thing I don’t have any Motley Crue on my iPod.

whaaaaat!

Well guys, my week is made.

The Hold Steady Ask Her For Adderall

If she asks, don’t tell her that I’m living hand in mouth
Don’t tell her I’ve been sleeping on your couch
If she asks just tell her that we opened for the Stones
It’s her favorite band except for the Ramones

If she happens to suggest a love based on trust and respect
Tell I’ve been wasted since last week
If she wants to stop on by, tell her that I almost died
Tell her I ain’t seein’ people yet, but see if she’ll send cigarettes

If she asks don’t tell her ‘bout the bloodshed in the streets
The less she knows, the less she can repeat
If she happens to bring up the pin pricks and the throwin’ up
Tell her it’s just part of growin’ up
If she wants to get involved, tell her to stay in St. Paul
Tell her I’m not up to takin’ calls; ask her for some Adderall

Now Holly won’t say hi to me, ‘cause I’m in love with my anxiety

If she asks just tell her that we’re too far gone to deal
She should know exactly how that feels
If she wants a scene report, don’t tell her ‘bout the kicked in doors
Tell her we ain’t even keeping score no more
If she wants to help the cause, tell her we need sterile gauze
Tell her she should look through all her medicine and see if she’s got Klonopins

Now Charlemagne don’t seem the same; he’s skinny, scared, and off his game
He’s been hiding from those gentlemen with the same tattoos as Gideon
