Chillout Tent Lyrics


There was a stage and a PA
Up in western Massachusetts
And the kids came from miles around
To get messed up on the musicAnd she drove down from Baudoin
With a carload of girlfriends
To meet some boys and
Maybe eat some mushroomsAnd they did and she got sick
Now she's pinned and way too shaky
She don't want to tell the doctor
Everything she' s takenThe paramedics hovered over
Like a somber mourning family
They gave her activated charcoal
They flooded her with salineI got really hot and then I came to in the chillout tent
They gave me oranges and cigarettesHe was rough around the edges
He'd been to school but never finished
He'd been to jail but never prisonAnd it was his first day off in forever, man
The festival seemed like a pretty good plan
Cruise some chicks and get a suntanAnd his friend gave him four

But he said only take one
But then he got bored
And he ended up taking all fourSo now my man
He ain't that bored anyways
The paramedics found him
He was shaking on the side of the stageEverything was spinning and then I came to in the chillout tent
They gave me oranges and cigarettes
I got really hot and then I came to in the chillout tent
They gave us oranges and cigarettesShe looked just like a baby bird
All new and wet and trying to light a parliament
He quoted her some poetries
He's Tennyson in denim and sheepskin
He looked a lot like Izzy StratlinThey started kissing when the nurses took off their IVs
It was kind of of sexy but it was kind of creepy
Their mouths were fizzy with the cherry cola
They had the privacy of bedsheets
And all the other kids were mostly in comasHe was kind of cute, we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
And I never saw that boy again
She was pretty cool and kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
And I never saw that girl againHe was kind of cute, we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
And I never saw that boy again
And she seemed pretty cool, we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
And I never saw that girl again

The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, he recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

Recording mostly live, the band released its debut, Almost Killed Me, on French Kiss Records in March 2004 and Separation Sunday a year later. In April 2006 the band signed to Vagrant Records and entered the studio on the 1st of May to begin work on their third record, Boys And Girls In America. Released in October, it was one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2006 and reached a much larger audience than its predecessors.

The band released their fourth album, Stay Positive, recorded again with Boys And Girls In America producer John Agnello. Nicolay left the group and on May 4, 2010 the band released their fifth studio album, Heaven Is Whenever, recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis.


On July 15, 2008, Stay Positive was released. It debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #15 on July 20, the third-highest new entry. It ranked #1 on the UK Indie Chart. The album was named the best of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. The song "Constructive Summer" was number 56 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
