Nicollet from Ghost Stories by Hannah vs. The Many

Five o clock and we're walking towards Nicollet
You in your tie dye and me in my secondhand coat
Must be old movie night
Cause I'm watching this ancient home video
Black and white and I'm not quite remembering you
Look how the world has changed
There's a place on the corner, yeah that'll be fine
Stay here and bury the moonlight
I'm making the most of my evening this time
They're calling me home come Monday
'Tearing me back to the city I've claimed
So choose your words wisely then
But there's a name you're not saying, a ghost in the room
So "Good bye and be good" is as good as I'll get
It's as I'd expected, then
Crossing yourself at my door, you've come
Seeking some quick and easy absolution
But I'm only as clean as the floors I've been kneeling on
One drink and then baby you're gone again
Should have known there was no way you'd tell me the truth
So I'll have your second round
And ambient strangers can take your place
The bartender, the whiskey soaked mother of two
Yeah, they know your life story now
The mother smokes under the heat lamps with me
The beggar on the corner calls us queens
We are neither of us the madonnas we seem
And I want you to know
You only would have had to be my shadow
This is the last time I tell you goodbye, yeah
This is the last time I tell you goodbye
The last time, the last time...
Eleven thirty and I'm turning my back on Nicollet.
