The Hold Steady - Massive Nights Lyrics

The guys are feeling good about their liquor run
The girls are kinda flirting with the setting sun
We all kind of fumbled through the jitter bug
We were all powered up on some new upper drug
And everything was partying
Everyone was pretty
And everyone was coming towards the center of the city
The dance floor was crowded, the bathrooms were worse
We kissed in your car and we drank from your purse
I had my mouth on her nose when the chaperon said we were dancing too close

We had some massive nights
We got the songs just right
And all I want is time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool

There weren't any fights
There's usually one or two
Some guys they get a little bit uptight
Some girls they got something to prove
We had some massive highs
We had some crushing lows
We had some lusty little crushes
We had those all-ages hardcore matinee shows
And I was down on my knees when the chaperon said that it was time for me to leave

We had some massive nights
Every song was right
And all I wanted was time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool
There weren't any fights
There's usually one or two
Some guys they get a little bit uptight
Some girls they got something to prove

We had some massive nights
There were some massive nights
We had some massive nights
Every song was right
And all I wanted was time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool

She had a gun in her mouth
And she was shootin' up at her dreams
When the chaperon said that we'd been crowned
The king and the queen
