The Hold Steady - Chillout Tent

Day 6 brings us the song with one of my favorite THS verses:

She looked just like a baby bird
     all new and wet and trying to light a Parliament.
He quoted her some poetry
     he’s Tennyson in denim and sheepskin.
     He looked a lot like Izzy Stradlin.
They started kissing when the nurses took off their IVs
     It was kinda sexy but it was kinda creepy. 
Their mouths were fizzy with the cherry cola
     They had the privacy of bedsheets
     All the other kids were mostly in comas.
