Lyrics The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady

Killer Parties

If they ask about Charlemagne

Be polite and say something vague

Like another lover lost to the restaurant raids

And if they ask why we left in the first place

Say we were young and we were so in love

And I guess we just needed space

We heard about this place they called the United States

And we found out Virginia really is for the lovers

Philly is full of friendly friends that will love you like a brother

Pensacola parties hard with poppers, pills and Pepsi

Ybor City is tres speedy, but they throw such killer parties

Killer parties almost killed me

Killer parties almost killed me

And if she says we partied then I'm pretty sure we partied

I really don't remember

I remember we departed from our bodies

We woke up in Ybor City

And if she says we partied then I'm pretty sure we partied

I really don't remember

I remember we departed from our bodies

We woke up in Ybor City

If she says we partied then I'm pretty sure we partied

I really don't remember

I remember we departed from our bodies

And we woke up in Ybor City
