THE HOLD STEADY LYRICS - Chips Ahoy!

"Chips Ahoy!"



She put $900 on the fifth horse in the sixth race

I think its name was Chips Ahoy

Came in six lengths ahead, we spent the whole next week getting high

At first I thought that shit hit on some tip that she got from some other boy

We were overjoyed



I got a girl and she don't have to work

She can tell which horse is gonna finish in first

Some nights the painkillers make the pain even worse



Came in six lengths ahead

We spent the whole next week getting high

I love but girl but I can't tell if she's having a good time



How am I supposed to know that you're high if you won't let me touch you?

How am I supposed to know that you're high if you won't even dance?

How am I supposed to know that you're high if you won't let me touch you?

How am I supposed to know that you're high if you won't even dance?



She's hard on the heart

She's soft to the touch

She gets migraine headaches

When she does it too much



She always does it too much



How am I supposed to know that you're high if you won't let me touch you?

How am I supposed to know that you're high if you won't even dance?

How am I supposed to know that you're high if you won't let me touch you?

How am I supposed to know that you're high if you won't even dance?



And you won't even dance
