Annotated lyrics for The Hold Steady song 'Sequestered in Memphis' - It started when we were dancin' / It got heavy when we got to the bathroom. / We didn't go back to her place, / We went to some place where she cat-sits. / She said, 'I know I look tired, but everything's fried, here in Memphis.' / Man, they want to know exactly which bathroom / Dude, does it make any difference? It can't be important / Yeah, sure, I'll tell my story again / In bar-light, she looked all right, / In daylight, she looked desperate / That's all right, I was desperate, too / I'm getting pretty sick of this interview. / Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis / Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis / I think she drove a new Mustang / I guess it might be a rental / I remember she had satellite radio / I guess she seemed a bit nervous, / Do you think I'm that stupid? / Well, what the hell? / I'll tell the story again / In bar-light, she looked all right, / In daylight, she looked desperate / That's all right, I was desperate, too / I'm getting pretty sick of this interview / Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis / I went there on business, subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
