THE HOLD STEADY LYRICS - Killer Parties

"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
