Testo Heavy Covenant - The Hold Steady

Testo della canzone Heavy Covenant (The Hold Steady), tratta dall'album Open Door Policy

With the wine glass on the microwave

And the ashtray in the kitchenette

I could tell that it was difficult

To bring that sort of subject up

It was tough to bring the subject up

Sleeper city on a power play

In the garden with a day to spare

And if you know the perfect words to say

You can get it almost anywhere

That's a pretty heavy covenant

To make with someone powerless

He said he'll ask about that other stuff

If you're still prepared to pay for it

I know the perfect place to go

Slide your little phone into the airplane mode

Motel Mariposa

A little south of downtown on the frontage road

Seeing stories in the the scorch marks

Hearing bass lines in the buzzing of the lights

Call down to the desk and say we're going to need another night

We're going to stay a second night

I sell software made for offices

It increases their efficiency

Hospitals and local governments

It's a pretty heavy covenant

In the taxi to the airport

I was hoping for Tucson around ten

Staring at the skyline

Then right back at my phone to find a friend

It seems a single body is a couple different people in this one life

I'm sorry but my meeting got delayed

I'm going to be another night

First I watched him play his instruments

A resonator with a missing string

Then I asked him about the songs he did

How he decides what songs he's gonna sing

Then I asked if I could shake his hand

And I palmed him almost forty bucks

Then I asked about the other stuff

With the wine glass on the microwave

The ashtray in the kitchenette

I could tell that it was difficult

Sleeper city with the underplay

You can get it almost anywhere

If you know the perfect words to say

That's a pretty heavy covenant

To make with someone powerless

He said he'll ask about that other stuff

Met a guy in up in some music club

Gave him almost almost forty bucks

To make it safe to bring the subject up

'Cause it's tough to bring the subject up

'Cause it's tough to bring the subject up

It's a pretty heavy covenant
