Multitude of Casualties Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
She drove it like she stole it.
She stole it fast and with a multitude of casualties.
She said I shipped it out from boulder.
Packed in coffee grounds and wrapped around in dryer sheets.
We spent a few months just wandering the sonoma.
High as hell and shivering and smashed.
We were hoping for a vision quest.
We opened up three buttons.
But all we saw was desert trash.It's a funny bit of chemistry.
How a cool car makes a guy seem that much cooler.

It's worth noting throughout history.
Kids come around corners to a multitude of casualties.
We spent a few hours circling the city.
Like a hawk out on the highways.
We were looking around for something that just died.
We heard the deacon's hopeful eulogy.
At least in dying you don't have to deal with new wave for a second time.
After your party we got off the grid.
We just couldn't get with all those clever kids.
Now we forage on the frontage roads.
We drive at nites I guess it just feels somewhat safer.
We scrounge around for sustinence.
We mostly eat it in the back half of the theaters.
We spent a few years nodding off in matinees.
High as hell and shivering and smashed.
We were hoping for an action adventure.
Something loud that we could feel thru all the feminax.
And after the movie we got off the ground.
Got in yr car and crawled around in lowertown.While she was at the citadel.
He was getting high as hell.
When she came to in the matinee.
She was asking round for someplace else to stay.
While he was down in lowertown.
She was feeling out the 530 folk mass.
And the nite that she got born again.
He was getting with her little hoodrat friend.
They did wade in the water into one tin soldier.
She started to cry.
Youth services always find a way to get their bloody cross into your druggy little messed up teenage life.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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.
