Lyrics: Bravery. Stir The Blood. Red Hands And White Knuckles.

She could be found out dancin'
At Ludlow Street and Stanton
Oh, you should've seen her
Shake it up like Orangina

And even though she's a liar
We got on like a house on fire
And even though she's my friend
We never knew when to say when

Every little move she made
Was a ticker tape parade
And everything she'd say
Was a national holiday

And even though she's a liar
No one ever got me higher
And even though she's my friend
We never knew when to say when

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on

She was at Tompkins Square
Staring at the grass
Trying to make her eyes turn green
But it never lasts

And even though she's a liar
No one ever got me higher
'Cause we never knew when to say when
Even though she was my friend

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on

Over on 5th and C
She got her beers for free
And every time I came in there
She always laughed at me

She said, "Who let this child in here?"
You look like you teach math
Your appled eyes betray
You've never known loneliness

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
