    Anyone going? I'm getting my tickets today.

    From what I understand, the Impostors are basically the Attractions. Should be reeeealy good.

    They were good at Austin City Limits and The Delivery Man is the his best work in a while. I don't know if I'll make this show though my budget is kinda tight right now.

    I'll definitely be there. My whole damn band is going. :)

    I don't think tickets actually go on sale until Saturday.

    Nice girls, not one with a defect
    cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct
    Red dogs under illegal legs,
    She looks so good that he gets down and begs
    She is watching the detectives, ooh - "he's so cute"
    She is watching the detectives when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
    They beat him up until the tear-drops start.
    But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

    Long shot of that jumping sign
    Visible shivers running down my spine
    Cut the baby taking off her clothes
    Close-up of the sign that says "We never close"
    You snatch a tune, you match a cigarrette.
    She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet

    I don't know how much more of this I can take
    She filing her finger nails while they're dragging the lake
    She is . . .

    You think you're alone until you realize you're in it.
    Now your fear is here to stay. Love is here for a visit.
    They call is instant justice when it's past the legal limit.
    Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder who is it?
    The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
    who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance.
    Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
    it only took my little fingers to blow you away

    Just like watching the detectives. Don't get cute
    It's just like watching the detectives. I get so angry when the tear-drops start
    but he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart.
    Watching the detectives. It's just like watching the detectives.
    Watching the detectives. Watching the detectives.

    Different bassist, plus you can hear Elvis' (much-louder and fuzzier) guitar playing in the mix better.

    The new album is brilliant.
