Songtext Going to a show Craig Finn

Going to a show

Some nights it just seems like the same old thing
Some nights it feels like a new frontier
Maybe that's why we keep coming here

Girl, when you looked back at the bar
I could swear you were looking at me
You want to get something to eat?

I try so hard not to talk to myself
But it's hard cause I'm always alone
Now she's playing with her phone

It's always been the same old people
Most of them are looking pretty old now
Now they rarely leave their homes

I know some dudes that have dabbled in drugs
I know some dudes that went pretty much pro
You shouldn't try to fall in love
When you're going to a show

I try so hard not to talk to myself
But it's hard cause I'm always aloneI try so hard not to talk to myself
But it's hard cause I'm always alone

She said the bassist went to college with her brother
He said "Hey, you want another?"
She said she might have to meet someone in the main room
And she softly touched his arm

She said "The bathroom's pretty nasty
But would you want to go in with me?"
He said "Nah, I'll just go outside and smoke"

I try so hard not to talk to myself
But it's hard cause I'm always alone
I try so hard not to talk to myself
But it's hard cause I'm always alone

I try so hard not to talk to myself
But it's hard cause I'm always alone
I try so hard not to talk to myself
But it's hard cause I'm always alone

I try so hard not to talk to myself
But it's hard cause I'm always alone
I try so hard not to talk to myself
But it's hard cause I'm always alone

And I want to take you home
