Massive Nights Lyrics
The guys are feeling good about their liquor run
The girls are kinda flirting with the setting sun
We all kind of fumbled through the jitter bug
We were all powered up on some new upper drug
And everyone was funny,
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 chaperon said that we were dancing too close
We had some massive nights
We got the songs just right
And all I want is time
And your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool
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
And I was down on my knees when the chaperon said that it was time for me to leave
We had some massive nights
Every song was right
And all I wanted was time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool
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
There were some massive nights
We had some massive nights
Every song was right
And all I wanted was time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool
She had a gun in her mouth
And she was shootin' up at her dreams
When the chaperon said that we'd been crowned
The king and the queen
The girls are kinda flirting with the setting sun
We all kind of fumbled through the jitter bug
We were all powered up on some new upper drug
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 chaperon said that we were dancing too close
We got the songs just right
And all I want is time
And your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool
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
And I was down on my knees when the chaperon said that it was time for me to leave
Every song was right
And all I wanted was time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool
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
There were some massive nights
We had some massive nights
Every song was right
And all I wanted was time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool
And she was shootin' up at her dreams
When the chaperon said that we'd been crowned
The king and the queen

"i had my mouth on her nose when the chaperone said we were dancing too close" that line just makes me think of high school dances, ah young love.
"she had a gun in her mouth and she was shootin' up at her dreams when the chaperon said that we'd been crowned the king and the queen" shootin up at her dreams? aiming for her head? the girl is suicidal, even though shes had such massive nights & cool friends. & shes the perfect highschool girl with only pretty friends & the best drugs, she was crowned queen, but it was all just an act.
I'm pretty sure it's "shooting up IN her dreams."
yeah, i hear shooting up in her dreams as well.
"we were all powered on some new upper drug," wow, so true. he's talking mostly about ADD medications that everybody and their mother can get prescribed like adderall, vivance, focalin, dexedrene, etc.
I love when Craig changes it to, "We kissed in her car and we Fucked in the church"
