The Hold Steady - Massive Nights lyrics

The guys were feeling good
About their liquor run
The girls were kinda flirting
With the setting sun
We all kinda fumbled through the jitterbug
We were all powered up on some new upper drug
And everyone was funny
And 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 chaperone said that we
Were dancing too close

We had some massive nights
Every song was right all the wine was tight
And your friends were pretty cool
And my friends were acting cool

And there weren't any fights
There's usually one or two
(Usually one or two)
Some guys, they get a little bit uptight
Some girls, they got something to prove
(Usually one or two)
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 chaperone said that it was
Time for me to leave

We had some massive nights
Every song was right all the wine was tight
And your friends were pretty cool
And my friends were acting cool

And there weren't any fights
There's usually one or two
(Usually one or two)
Some guys, they get a little bit uptight
Some girls, they got something to prove
(Usually one or two)

We had some massive nights
We had some massive nights
We had some massive nights
We had some massive nights

We had some massive nights
Every song was right all the wine was tight
And your friends were pretty cool
And my friends were acting cool

She had the gun in her mouth
And she was shooting up at her dreams
When the chaperone said that we'd been
Crowned the king and the queen
