Below a pool table I lie
One night in '99
Half asleep when that song begins
Have to go find out who it is
From the basement of the house party
I crawl up three flights of stairs
Like half a zombie
People dancing on my hand I demand
Tell me the name of that ridiculously awesome band
But no one hears me or gives a s***
About a stupid boy at the time unfit to stand on his two legs
And ask politely instead he begs
" Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me!"
A wasted skater, told me their name later
Before this, to music I was a hater
I had to go and I had to follow through
I bought their tapes and soon after I got their tattoo
But, by then their voice was dead living on in my headphones
With so much left unsaid
I wish I could have thanked them personally
They did so much for me
This goes out to everyone who helped us out along the way Thank you!
