radar & leda - the hold steady lyrics

radar met leda on a freight elevator
he made a joke about the fatal attraction
and even though she didn’t seem to recognize the reference
later on they made a little connection
she lost track of her friends at some party in a warehouse
so she’s happy someone’s paying attention

she could tell that radar had seen a bit of action
the way he kept his eyes on the entrance
she’d been with some guys that had a similar feature
defenses switching quick to aggression
radar said he’s only tying to figure out the future
and the trick is in the early detection

she used to work in a shop
but one day she just stopped showing up for the opening
spent the last couple years with the lingering fear
making deals with the dopamine
radar and leda sharing new information
telling each other everything

back in his place and leda opens the fridge
it’s just some mustard and a two pack of blatz
botanica candles on the floor by the mattress
which is really just a gymnastics mat
he said he falls out of bed with hard dreams in his head
all flash bang and bird songs and skittering insects
and this one kind of sadness that keeps veering into violence
that feeling when you steer in the skid
cause pleasure’s a rental but pain’s residential
and every garden gets overgrown
spent the last couple weeks too suspicious to sleep
terrified of the telephone
radar and leda staying up even later
telling each other everything
and every tangle can come undone
but in the end we’re all on our own
it’s hard to hold out hope that your call’s gonna come
when you’re terrified of the telephone

she used to work in a shop, then one day she just stopped
now she mostly just hangs at home
’cause pleasure’s a rental and the terms aren’t so simple
and any vessel can overflow
she used to work at some store but it’s not there anymore
there’s something new where it used to be
radar and leda trading their medications
telling each other everything

telling each other everything
telling each other everything
