Annotated lyrics for The Hold Steady song 'Massive Nights' - The guys were feeling good about their liquor run / The girls were kinda flirting with the setting sun / We all kinda fumbled through the Jitterbug / We were all powered up on some new upper drug / Everyone was funny and everyone was pretty / And everyone was coming towards the center of the city / The dance floor was crowded, the bathrooms were worse / We kissed in your car and we drank from your purse / I had my mouth on her nose / When the chaperone said that we were dancing too close / We had some massive nights, every song was right / All that wine was tight / And your friends were pretty cool / And my friends were acting cool / And there weren't any fights / There's usually one or two / Some guys they get a little bit uptight / Some girls they got something to prove / We had some massive highs / We had some crushing lows / We had some lusty little crushes / We had those all ages hardcore matinee shows / I was down on my knees / When the chaperone said that it was time for me to leave / We had some massive nights and every song was right / All that wine was tight / Your friends were pretty cool / And my friends were acting cool / And there weren't any fights / There's usually one or two / Some guys they get a little bit uptight / Some girls they got something to prove / We had some massive nights / We had some massive nights / We had some massive nights / We had some massive nights / We had some massive nights and every song was right / All that wine was tight / Your friends were pretty cool / And my friends were acting cool / She had the gun in her mouth / And she was shooting up at her dreams / When the chaperone said that we'd been crowned / The king and the queen /
