Perdido

[Verse 1] She was twisting in the bucket seats and switching through the stations on the radio On the top floor of the parking ramp gazing off across the Gulf of Mexico Waiting for the phone to ring to hit you with the update on the miracle The steps are pretty simple but depression makes this dance craze much more difficult There's always some frustration That's part of the appeal So let's finish up the holiday And then see how we feel Either way I hope you won't take it so personal [Verse 2] And it's hard for him to fathom What more he could havе done Asked the sеrver for a set up But the closure never comes So much for seeking safety in municipals On a bar up on a roof a facsimile of fun She says she's got a couple lovers Yeah he's not the only one He's just the only one that went up to the roof with her And it's too much information Yeah, the circuitboard is jammed A breakup in Perdido, that was probably not the plan Staggered by this newest piece of truth from her [Verse 3] Met up with some rippers who were napping on the scaffolds at the city beach Asked them if they knew somewhere that he could get an update for the software suite He gave them twenty for the number they gave zero guarantees He said we need some new distraction she guesses she agrees But she wishes he wouldn't take this all so personal Sometimes there's some safety in reciprocals These millionaires are mostly into multiples Maybe try the guy again [Verse 4] It's a bit after the season so we got a decent rate The guests were kind of messy and the weather wasn't great But still we're gonna stay here until the package ends It's a sticky situation, it's the bottom of the pan It's the stench of burning circuits in a mediocre man Maybe we're just better off as party friends [Verse 5] At a bar down by the water pouring bubbles into rum Says she's got a couple lovers, yeah, you're not the only one You're just the only one that wants to spend the week with me At a condo in a complex off the causeway near the beach Watching for the phone call, waiting on the tv You're just the only one that wants to spend the week with me Waiting out the weekend in Perdido Key
