The Hold Steady - First Night lyrics

rate me

Charlemagne shakes in the streets Gideon makes love to the suites and Holly's not invincible in fact she's in the hospital not far from that bar where we met on that first night Charlemagne pulls street corner scams and Gideon's got a popcap from a Pringles can Holly's insatiable, she still looks incredible But she don't look like that same girl we met on that first night when she was golden with floorlight and beer on that first night she slept like she'd never been scared And then last night She said "Words so long never could save us." And then last night She cried and she told us about Jesus Holly's inconsolable Unhinged and uncontrollable 'Cause we can't get as high as we got on that first night Boys and girls in America Boys and girls in America Boys and girls in America Boys and girls in America Boys and girls in America Don't bother talking to the guys with their hot soft eyes you know they're already taken Don't even speak to all those sequin-surfed beach boys when they kiss they spit white noise when they kiss they spit white noise when they kiss they spit white noise when they kiss they spit white noise yeah, when they kiss they spit white noise now when they kiss they spit white noise when they kiss they spit white noise
