the hold steady - banging camp

saw her at the party pit
she was shaky but still trying to shake it
half naked and three quarters wasted
she was completely alone
i saw him at the riverbank
he was breaking bread and giving thanks
with crosses made of pipes and planks
leaned up against the nitrous tanks
he said take a hit, hold your breath and i'll dunk your head
then when you wake up again, you'll be high as hell and born again
