A Slight Discomfort - The Hold Steady

I thought you’re through with all the bougie guys, don’t you wonder about the

other side?

They only get invited cause they think that they might buy

Ain’t it sad about these metro guys, don’t it hurt to watch them moisturize?

They’re never funny and they’re all so scared to die

We’re not afraid, we have our faith

We’ve seen scattered action and we’ve mostly come out unscathed

We’ll be alright, we’ll get through the night

Our struggle still feels wonderful most days, most days

Don’t it suck about the succubi, the bloodsuckers and the parasites?

They’re never funny and they’re all so scared to die

All the small talk seems like suicide, the spiderwebs with the legs and eggs

and eyes

They creep up from behind

If I were you I wouldn’t get too close

I’ve seen how they eat and it gets pretty gross

They slip their tongue and they hitch onto their host

We’re not afraid, we have our faith

Seen a couple slaughters and they mostly turned out okay

We’ll be alright, we’ll get through the night

Our struggle still feels wonderful most days

Hey New York City, I love it when you turn on your lights

Our struggle still feels wonderful tonight

And you say you’re a princess

But I remain unconvinced

I’ve seen the guys that you’ve been with

They don’t much like princes

And you say you’re much better

But I don’t quite believe it

I saw the girls that you came with

I saw the guy that you left with

And you say you tried Jesus but it was too inconvenient

You just didn’t have the patience

You say you said prayers but it felt like there was nobody there

I didn’t think that you’d get it

This shouldn’t hurt

But you might feel a slight discomfort

This shouldn’t hurt

But you might feel a slight discomfort

This shouldn’t hurt

But you might feel a slight discomfort

This shouldn’t hurt

But you might feel a slight discomfort
