lyrics

Smoke that cigarette my boy and
Drink that whiskey down
It's half past midnight in the cold dark morning
Of a grey sky dead-end town
Keg stand, bar dancer in the corner
Giving out "take me to the bedroom" eyes
But the conversation is degradation
So tell me whatcha doing 'round about sunrise?

It's really really nice to meet you
But I don't really wanna know your name
I said it's really really nice to meet you
But I don't really wanna know your name
I said I really really think I'll lease you
For the price of a dinner and a one night stay
Really really nice to meet you
But I don't really wanna know your name

That's a goddamn shame.

Crunk, all your friends they are growing old
With a wife and a kid and a dog and a home
While you ghost-ride the whip with all your single friends
Cul-de-sac, asking how the story ends
It's a sad, sad feature for the newscast
But it'd never even make the broadcast
There's no romancing when the has been's dancing to
The sound of a youth that's fading fast

It's really really nice to meet you
But I don't really wanna know your name
I said it's really really nice to meet you
But I don't really wanna know your name
I said I really really think I'll lease you
For the price of a dinner and a one night stay
Really really nice to meet you
But I don't really wanna know your name

That's a goddamn shame.

You're my silver medal, dry them tears
I'm here to calm all your deepest fears
Never gonna leave you all alone
For the night anyway, I'll be gone in the morning
Jetpack to the nearest exit
No address, no number, no friend request
And you can like my status if you like my status
It's complicated. I just thought I'd confess

It's really really nice to meet you
But I don't really wanna know your name
I said it's really really nice to meet you
But I don't really wanna know your name
I said I really really think I'll lease you
For the price of a dinner and a one night stay
Really really nice to meet you
But I don't really wanna know your name

That's a goddamn shame.
