[00:00.00]I Hope This Whole Thing Didn't Frighten You - The Hold Steady
[00:19.74]I heard the Cityscape Skins are kinda kicking it again
[00:22.97]Heard they finally got some discipline
[00:25.62]Running up the score and stocking up like it's World War for
[00:31.37]I heard that some are getting sprung and some are back in
[00:34.60]You know it's always back and forth
[00:38.00]And most of them are dead
[00:39.60]And some don't even live here anymore
[00:45.40]So when I brought you back here for Christmas
[00:49.42]I didn't think we would see them
[00:52.34]I guess I should've explained
[00:56.36]There was a side of this city I didn't want you to see
[01:02.58]There's just these guys that I know  we go back pretty deep
[01:08.93]And I hope this whole thing didn't frighten you
[01:11.86]There were times that it terrified me
[01:15.45]I know what they said  I don't know if it's true
[01:18.63]I hope this whole thing didn't frighten you
[01:34.16]They're building a bunker down by the river
[01:37.12]And someone said that that's where they've been getting together
[01:40.00]They got masks for the gas  they're sleeping in their bulletproof vests
[01:46.22]I guess Shepard came out of St  Cloud with a little ideology
[01:50.41]Some new way of thinking  man
[01:52.53]A view to the future
[01:54.48]Jesus  this might be a mess
[02:00.54]For me  it was mostly the music
[02:04.28]I couldn't go to the shows with
[02:07.13]I guess I should've explained
[02:11.03]There was a side of this city I didn't want you to see
[02:17.27]There's just these guys that I know  we go back pretty deep
[02:23.69]And I hope this whole thing didn't frighten you
[02:26.64]There were times that it terrified me
[02:30.15]I know what they said  I don't know if it's true
[02:33.31]I hope this whole thing didn't frighten you
[02:41.71]They never care if it's true
[02:44.19]As long as they got something to prove
[02:47.14]And they always got something to prove
[03:13.66]And the room full of dudes
[03:15.02]And they cranked up the tunes
[03:16.35]And I could tell this whole thing kind of frightened you
[03:22.77]There was a side of this city I didn't want you to see
[03:29.00]There's just these guys that I know  we go back pretty deep
[03:35.25]I saw you look at his shoes  I saw you look at their teeth
[03:38.55]I could tell this whole thing kind of frightened you
[03:41.54]So you tapped me on the arm like you wanted to cruise
[03:44.78]I could tell this whole thing kind of frightened you
