The Hold Steady Follow

the guys were feeling good about their liqour run.
the girls were kinda flirting with the setting sun.
we all kinda fumbled thru the jitterbug.
we were all powered up on some new upper drug.

everyone was funny and everyone was pretty.
everyone was coming towards the center of the city.
the dancefloor 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 that wine was tight.
your friends were 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.

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 that wine was tight.
your friends were 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.

she had the gun in her mouth.
she was shooting up at her dreams.
when the chaperone said that
we'd been crowned
the king and the queen.
