Stadiums and Shrines II Lyrics

Can I lift my dress up for you?
Can I lift it in the night?
White undersides of my thighs look much better
In the dark light

There’s a kid in there
And he’s big, and dumb,
And he’s… kinda scared
Well, he’s too old to be there

And he’s just looking for a ride.

Well, I’ll lift it to the ceiling tiles
Of stadiums and shrines
You see something to cheer about
I’ll tell you that it’s mine
I’m sorry that your mother died
But that one wasn't my fault
I’m sorry anybody dies at all these days

Oh I see the night…
With my own two eyes.

It's about someone losing their virginity.

Just wanted to point out that the "kid" who is "just looking for a ride" is probably the same kid from "They Took a Vote and Said No," the opening lyrics of which are "He's just a kid, he wants a ride."

Just a small correction to the line; I’ll stay —- in a trance You see something to reach about

I think it's actually Old stadiums and shrines You see something to cheer about...

Anyways...great great song

Wow, i've literally been listening to the 30 second tease for this song on itunes ever since the album came out in early May. Something dreamy and majestic in Krug's howling voice...i couldn't pick up the album until i got back from college, but damn was it worth the wait

Thanks Tavs, edited it. I took all the lyrics from a fansite and didn't look over them beforehand, just wanted to get them up here.
