[00:00:00] The Ambassador - The Hold Steady

[00:00:01] Written by：The Hold Steady

[00:00:38] You were in Michigan

[00:00:41] She was pretty much livin' in

[00:00:46] A three two bar a stretch to call a club

[00:00:51] It was called The Ambassador

[00:00:54] She was pretty much crashin' there

[00:00:59] The space between the skin and all the blood

[00:01:06] The nights were hot and hissin' like an iron

[00:01:19] The days spent climbin' walls like a vine

[00:01:31] A Bay City tire shop

[00:01:35] Is just a temporary stop

[00:01:38] A touchdown on a trip that was mostly undefined

[00:01:44] You were still staying there

[00:01:47] All the halls smelled like burning hair

[00:01:51] In the end it made you sick but at first you didn't mind

[00:01:58] The nights were hot and hissin' like an iron

[00:02:11] The days were cold and crushed you like a can

[00:02:21] Years spent faking pain and making plans

[00:02:28] Pretty sure you'd recognize these guys

[00:02:34] They were asking 'round for you just the other night

[00:02:41] There was blood on the bed and the lights in her eyes

[00:02:47] If you came around the back we could take them by surprise

[00:03:05] Your friend from the tire shop

[00:03:08] He keeps talking 'bout some rocks

[00:03:12] Like he wants something hard to hit his head on

[00:03:18] You said he's a mystic

[00:03:21] Well I know he's not Catholic

[00:03:25] He's got a cross all upside down carved in his arm

[00:03:32] The nights were hot and hissin' like an iron

[00:03:45] The days were cold and crushed you like a can

[00:03:55] Years spent faking pain and making plans

[00:04:01] Pretty sure you'd recognize these guys

[00:04:08] They were asking 'round for you just the other night

[00:04:14] There was blood on the bed and the lights in her eyes

[00:04:20] When you came back to us

[00:04:23] In South Minneapolis

[00:04:27] You said revenge exists outside of space and time

[00:04:33] Back behind The Ambassador

[00:04:36] Man it feels kind of magical

[00:04:40] I guess your friend can really move things with his mind

[00:04:53] It was called The Ambassador

[00:04:56] There wasn't much diplomatic there

[00:05:00] The space between the skin and all the blood
