Lyrics

The bar queue's a showcase of Dangerfield threads The DJ's spinning "This Charming Man" again All the cool kids saying that they already knew it Singing "I'm so fucking indie, I don't even listen to music" A map of the entire world To pinpoint just where we are We know every song word for word And we're playing air guitar Guitar They came in carrying buckets coming from the south Until every stovepipe was washed out And every A-line skirt was met with a different crowd And every popped collar their wardrobe allowed We're sticking to the floor at the Rochester again They've watered down all the beer And nobody is dancing Dancing I wasn't asking for a sales pitch I wanted to ask if you could teach Teach me how to use a Holga We could spend the late afternoon taking long exposures We go back every year just to see if it's the same 'Cause of some sentimental value we're trying to recover Like a T-shirt in the closet that belonged to an ex-lover We're sticking to the floor at Rochester again They've watered down the beer And nobody is dancing We're sticking to the floor at Rochester again They've watered down the beer And nobody is dancing We're sticking to the floor at Rochester again They've watered down the beer And nobody is dancing We're sticking to the floor at Rochester again They've watered down the beer And nobody is dancing We knew that we had to leave We knew that we had to leave Everyone we knew had gone We knew that we had to We knew that we had to We knew that we had to leave
