Sandra From Scranton Lyrics


She comes out on Sundays
She moves after midnight
When everything is secret and sacred.Shes' got medical reasons
For all these prescriptions.
I suppose that's enough explanation.She's done playing music.
She's bored of the tunes.
She don't go to shows anymore.She asked where I'm living these days.
I decided to tell her the truth.She don't go out to shows anymore
But she still knows the boys and the blues.
Shake off the shadows.
Bash through the borders.
Wipe the grime from the windows
Look out over the corners
Sandra from Scranton.
All dressed up and dancing.We were poised to make moves
We shined up our shoes
Expectations were majorWe posed for the pictures
All shiny and shattered

Your sister went off with some actorSo we scattered like spores
Trying to find purchase in dirtShe once met a boy and she thought it might work
The boy that she met wasn't sure
Shake off the shadows.
Bash through the borders.
Wipe the grime from the windows
Look out over the corners
Sandra from Scranton.
All dressed up and dancing.We aren't going to split any atoms tonight.
The future is only uncertain.
The guys on the bikes got whatever you like and
A bird in the hand is worth something.
I didn't go to work on Monday or Tuesdaay
No, that's not how I planned it.
Blew out the first few days of the week
On Sunday with Sandra from Scranton.

Craig Finn is the man behind Lifter Puller, The Brokerdealer and The Hold Steady. He was also featured on Rhymesayers rapper P.O.S.'s Safety In Speed (Heavy Metal). He released his first solo album, Clear Heart Full Eyes, on January of 2012.

Here is some background information on Clear Heart Full Eyes from the No Future Songfacts . In early 2011 Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn challenged himself to write a new song every day in his Brooklyn apartment for his first solo album. "I had written a bunch of songs that were outside of the norm for The Hold Steady, a little quieter and perhaps more narrative," he said. "I wanted to gain some experience and insight into the process of making a record by working with new people." Finn enlisted producer Mike McCarthy (Spoon) and traveled to an Austin, Texas studio far away from his New York comfort zone. He hooked up with some local musicians there, including members of Phosphorescent and White Denim and sang his vocals live, keeping takes to a minimum and completed recording in a few days. The resulting album, Clear Heart Full Eyes was released on January 24, 2012 on Vagrant Records. Read more on Last.fm.
