lyrics

I am biding my time
I am standing in line
at a place where I hang
just about all the time
I come to see Holly Near
or maybe Jules Shear
and I see all my friends
and I know they’re all near
I know they’re all acquainted with this feeling

and by the cigarette machine
dwells the miserablist
and no one bothers him
no one steals his thunder
he smokes a lot but doesn’t speak
he reads a book by Cheever
and where he goes at night
I can only wonder

a nice black and tan
and a fine IPA
our old friend is here
from Altoona, PA
see that girl at the bar
I knew her in the third grade
before we were anybody
before we were made
before we were acquainted with this feeling

and where he goes at night
we can only wonder

Arms of Kismet Winchester, Virginia

Brooding and poppy, funny and foreboding, it’s toe-tapping, tragicomic rock ’n’ roll.
