"Big Night" lyrics

"Big Night"

3:43 and I'm punching the clock
Meet me at the bar at the end of the block
It's gonna be a big night 'cause I'm ready to pop, oh yeah
This round's on me 'cause I just got paid
Tired of biting my tongue, tired of being played
Batten down the hatches with all our weight, oh yeah

5:35 going straight to my head
Started digging my grave and I'm making my bed
Feeling more alive but I ain't there yet, oh no

It's gonna be a big night
Make a scene, let the animal out
Big night
Oh let your head hang down, girl
Big night
Undo the top button, boy
Big night
Oh get your feet off the floor

Hey, look at me, I made a few new friends
It's like we've known each other since way back when
Could you remind me of your name again? No no

10:42 and I'm seeing stars
Then I knock a girl's Cosmo off of the bar
Now her boyfriend's back, better sound the alarm, oh yeah

It's gonna be a big night
Make a scene, let the animal out
Big night
Oh let your head hang down, girl
Big night
Undo the top button, boy
Big night
Oh get your feet off the floor

I'm sorry, have we met?
Can I borrow a cigarette?
I can't find my friends
I'm not sure where I am
You went to my high school
I'm sorry if I was cruel
I'm not going home
I hope this night goes on and on and on and on and on

Last call, I'm howling at the moon
Failed, it catches me doing blow in the bathroom
Heading out, snack, grinning, this will be enough

7am and it's bumper to bumper
Wake up in the alley and you're under a dumpster
Pick yourself up boy, that's enough fun for a night

Oh yes, it was a big night
Make a scene, let the animal out
Big night
Oh let your head hang down, girl
Big night
Undo the top button, boy
Big night
Oh get your feet off the floor

Big night
Make a scene, let the animal out
Big night
Oh let your head hang down, girl
Big night
Undo the top button, boy
Big night
Oh get your feet off the floor
