First Night Lyrics - Boys And Girls In America - The Hold Steady

Charlemagne shakes in the streets 

Gideon makes love to the suites 

Holly's not invincible, in fact she's in the hospital 

Not far from the bar where we met on that first night 

Charlemagne pulls street corner scams 

Gideon's got a pipe made from a Pringles can 

Holly's insatiable, she still looks incredible 

But she don't look like the same girl we met 

On that first night 

She was golden with bar light and beer 

On that first night 

She slept like she'd never been scared 

And then last night 

She said words alone never could save us 

And then last night 

She cried and she told us about Jesus 

Holly's inconsolable 

Unhinged and uncontrollable 

Because 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 

Don't bother talking to the guys with the hot soft eyes 

You know they're already taken 

Don't even speak to all those sequencer and beats 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 

When they kiss they spit white noise 

Yeah, when they kiss they spit white noise 

Yeah, when they kiss they spit white noise 

When they kiss they spit white noise
