LIFTER PULLER
"Bloomington"
(Steve Barone / Craig Finn / Dan Monick / Thom Roach)

Even if you threw like Vida Blue
I'd still hit on you like Killebrew
Thought that you knew that I was better than you
Why'd you have to try to go and join my crew
I'm condescending

I've got my reasons
You never gave me back that photograph
If it's offending, get used to it darlin'
I wasn't even looking but I saw the flash

I took dance lessons
I slid around in loafers
I'm so civilized that I'm recognized
In dance halls
And public places
And wide-open spaces
I put smiles on their faces, yeah

'Cause I'm a spy, girl
I'm just old-fashioned
I never took to calling it espionage
'Cause I just spy, girl
You must know all about it
I just never had you figured for the other side

"You can burn me
"In the name of revolution
"You can try to make me talk with electric shocks
"I never saw his face
"I don't know who the man is
"He just puts his instructions into my mailbox

"His idea of fun is Bloomington
"He always takes his calls at the megamall
"He left me by the phone at the Metrodome
"He's questing through investing
"He's testing his protection
"Don't it all feel like one big game
"With the lights and the dust and the security?"
