Lyrics The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady

First Night

Charlemagne shakes in the streets

Gideon makes love to the suites

Holly's not invincible, in fact she's in the hospital

Not far from the bar where we met on that first night

Charlemagne pulls street corner scams

Gideon's got a pipe made from a Pringles can

Holly's insatiable, she still looks incredible

But she don't look like the same girl we met

On that first night

She was golden with bar light and beer

On that first night

She slept like she'd never been scared

And then last night

She said words alone never could save us

And then last night

She cried and she told us about Jesus

Holly's inconsolable

Unhinged and uncontrollable

Because 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

Don't bother talking to the guys tith the hot soft eyes

You know they're already taken

Don't even speak to all those sequencer and beats 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

When they kiss they spit white noise

Yeah, when they kiss they spit white noise

Yeah, when they kiss they spit white noise

When they kiss they spit white noise
