Craig Finn - Sarah, Calling From a Hotel Songtexte

Sarah's calling from a hotel
That was built into a mountain
There were diamonds in the fountain.
She said that she was happy.

Hadn't seen her since the races
At the ending of last summer.
We watched the horses run up on each other.
She looked pretty.

She said lately she's been thinking.
She's sorry she was ruthless at the ending.
But her new friend does much better
Than just get by.

The last thing she said to me
Before she hung up the phone was
Here he comes
Oh God. I gotta go.

Every time you take a lover
You trade one thing for another.
We hadn't spoken in a year and
I'm not sure why she called.

The last thing that she said to me
Before she hung up the phone was
Here he comes.
Oh God. I gotta go.
Here he comes. He's got a gun.

I heard that she cleaned up.
Then I also heard that she didn't.
Sarah says he's got some money.
But Jenny says it's spent.
She says she knows that he's not perfect
But when you add it all up then it's worth it.

She said she was sorry at the ending.
She was lazy with her lies
But she was sick of scrounging around
Just barely getting by

The last thing she said to me
Before she hung up the phone was
Here he comes. Oh God.
I gotta go.
Here he comes. He's got a gun.
I gotta go.
