Lyrics

[00:02.00] The Hold Steady - Barely Breathing
[00:03.00]
[00:05.94] You shoulda seen 'em just after midnight
[00:15.66] Well they were down on their luck and still high from a street fight
[00:26.52] Told it like it wasn't really much of a big thing
[00:29.94] To be out on the tiles and barely breathing
[00:34.68] We were barely breathing
[00:37.98] Showing up at shows like you care about the scene still
[00:41.51] Where were you when the blood spilled?
[00:44.62] They almost killed me
[00:47.49] It got pretty sketchy
[00:51.78] We tried to push forward
[00:55.78] Now we're pointing at the scoreboard and it feels so amazing
[01:03.59] And the crowd's going crazy
[01:09.67] Summer '88 was all heat and intensity
[01:12.47] Saw the Youth Of Today at the 7th Street Entry
[01:15.22] There were skins in the pit, some of them tried to kill me
[01:20.45] Same club next summer, and now they're called Shelter
[01:23.35] And after the show I spoke with the singer
[01:25.84] And he tried to hand me a pamphlet about Hare Krishna
[01:30.41] I said "You gotta be kidding"
[01:35.52] Who the hell is the blue guy?
[01:40.52] But then he said something special
[01:46.07] Using only his eyes
[02:12.56] The kids are all distracted
[02:33.08][02:22.57] No one wins at violent shows
[02:24.37] The kids are a distraction
