The Hold Steady
"Sequestered In Memphis"

It started when we were dancing.
It got heavy when we got to the bathroom.
We didn't go back to her place, we went to some place where she can sit (?).
She said, "I know I look tired, but every thing's fried here in Memphis."
Now they want to know exactly which bathroom.
Dude, does it make any difference? It can't be important.
Yeah, sure I'll tell my story again...
In bar light she looked alright.
In daylight she looked desperate.
(?)And that night I was (?) desperate too.
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview.

Supoened in Texas.
Sequestered in Memphis.

I think she drove a new Mustang.
I guess it might be a rental.
I remember she had satellite radio.
I guess she seemed a bit nervous, do you think I'm that stupid?
Oh what the hell, I'll tell the story again.

Sequestered in Memphis.

I went there on business.
