"Killer Parties" lyrics - THE HOLD STEADY

THE HOLD STEADY
"Killer Parties"
feat. Craig Finn, Galen Polivka, Judd Counsell, Peter Hess & Tad Kubler

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
And we heard about this place
They call 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
