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
