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 hands, I demand Tell me the name of that ridiculously awesome band
But no one hears me or gives a ... 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!”
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 him personally They did so much for me
This goes out to everyone who’s helped us out along our way THANK YOU
