Artist/Band: The Hold Steady
Lyrics for Song: Don't Let Me Explode
Lyrics for Album: Separation Sunday [2005]



He said what about Los Angeles?

She said we never really made it that far west

We scored big in Denver and thought it might be best

To go hang around in the upper midwest



He said what about New Orleans?

She said I don't think you understand what that means

All those hangers-on, those girls lifting up their

shirts when the cameras come on

We were trying to stay away from those kind of scenes



And we didn't go to Dallas

'Cause Jackie Onassis said that it ain't safe for Catholics yet

Think about what they pulled on Kennedy and then think about his security

Then think about what they might try to pull on you and me



Saint Barbara, I'm calling your name

Don't let me blow up

We'll hook it all up

I guess there's fields of speed where there's fields of grain



Saint Barbara, don't let me explode

I can feel the whole scene

Starting to corrode

When we're fooling around on the frontage roads



He asked what happened to Charlemagne

She just smiled all polite-like and said something vague

She said Charlemagne got caught up in some complicated things

Then she wiped at her nose and she winked
