The Hold Steady - First Night lyrics

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
