"Ballad Of The Last Payphone" lyrics
"Ballad Of The Last Payphone"
I had to see it with my very eyes
At the Museum of the City of New York
It had the offhand grace, you will find
In the last ones left alive
Well, they took it from Times Square in May
Little fanfare or paid respect
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity
Then it's terminal velocity
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
I had to see it with my very eyes
For advice from the just left behind
Reverse the charges!
I tried, but it had no lightning inside
Did you get a good look at their face?
'Cause often thieves have not gone very far
And they're not strangers, they rarely are
And they're not strangers...
They rarely are
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity
Then it's terminal velocity
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity
Then it's terminal velocity
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity
Then it's terminal velocity

Delta Spirit - "Bushwick Blues" Hold on to my hand
Never let go, never let go
We were just two kids acting tough
Then we grew up, me, not so much
All the other guys
That you've seen
Are nothing compared to me
Because my love is...
The National - "All The Wine" I'm put together beautifully
Big wet bottle in my fist
Big wet rose in my teeth
I'm a perfect piece of ass
Like every Californian
So tall I take over the street
With high-beams shining up my back

The Decemberists - "Make You Better" I want you, thin fingers
I wanted you, thin fingernails
And when you bend backwards
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh, to make me better
I'll love you in springtime
I lost you when summer came
And...
TV On The Radio - "Could You" Shut down, give up the fight
(Slamming the door, been here before, where do we go?)
Stay drunk all night
(Dan pours a good one, he keeps a seat open at the bar)
Might not work out alright
