The Hold Steady - Ma**ive 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 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 ma**ive nights Every song was right All that 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 (there's usually one or two) Some guys they get a little bit uptight Some girls they got something to prove (there's usually one or two) We had some ma**ive 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 ma**ive nights And every song was right All that wine was tight Your friends were pretty cool And my friends were acting cool And there weren't any fights There's usually one or two (there's usually one or two) Some guys they get a little bit uptight Some girls they got something to prove (there's usually one or two) We had some ma**ive nights We had some ma**ive nights We had some ma**ive nights We had some ma**ive nights We had some ma**ive nights And every song was right All that wine was tight 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
