The Hold Steady - Killer Parties lyrics

If they ask about Charlemagne
Be polite, and say something vague
Like "Another lover lost to
The restaurant raids"

And if they ask why we
Left in the first place
Say we were young and we were so in love
And I guess we just needed space
And we heard about this place
They call the United States

And we found out Virginia really
Is for the lovers
Philly's full of friendly friends that'll
Love you like a brother
Pensacola parties hard with poppers
Pills and Pepsi ybor City is très speedy
But they throw such killer parties

Killer parties almost killed me


Killer parties almost killed me

And if she says we partied
Then I'm pretty sure we partied
I really don't remember
I remember we departed from our bodies
We woke up in Ybor City

And if she says we partied
Then I'm pretty sure we partied
I really don't remember
I remember we departed from our bodies
We woke up in Ybor City

If she says we partied
Then I'm pretty sure we partied
I really don't remember
I remember we departed from our bodies
And we woke up in Ybor City
