[00:01] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[00:05] got out of bed at all
[00:07] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[00:11] and I can't see at all
[00:13] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[00:16] put your picture on my wall
[00:19] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[00:23] it's not so bad..
[00:25] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[00:28] got out of bed at all
[00:31] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[00:35] and I can't see at all
[00:37] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[00:40] put your picture on my wall
[00:43] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[00:46] it's not so bad..
[00:49] Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin
[00:51] I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
[00:54] I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
[00:57] There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin
[01:00] Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
[01:03] but anyways; **** it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
[01:06] My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
[01:09] If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
[01:11] I'ma name her Bonnie I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
[01:15] I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
[01:18] I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
[01:21] I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
[01:24] I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
[01:27] I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was fat
[01:31] Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
[01:33] just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
[01:35] This is Stan
[01:37] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[01:40] got out of bed at all
[01:42] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[01:46] and I can't see at all
[01:48] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[01:52] put your picture on my wall
[01:54] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[01:58] it's not so bad..
[02:00] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote,
[02:02] I hope you have a chance I ain't mad
[02:04] I just think it's ****ED UP you don't answer fans
[02:07] If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
[02:09] you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
[02:12] That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
[02:15] We waited in the blistering cold for you,
[02:17] four hours and you just said, "No." That's pretty shitty man
[02:20] you're like his ****in idol He wants to be just like you man,
[02:23] he likes you more than I do I ain't that mad though,
[02:26] I just don't like bein lied to Remember when we met in Denver
[02:29] you said if I'd write you, you would write back
[02:31] see I'm just like you in a way I never knew my father neither
[02:34] he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
[02:37] I can relate to what you're saying in your songs so when I have a shitty day,
[02:40] I drift away and put 'em on
[02:42] cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
[02:45] I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
[02:48] Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
[02:51] It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
[02:54] See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
[02:57] My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
[03:00] But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
[03:03] She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up
[03:06] You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
[03:09] Sincerely yours, Stan
[03:10] P.S. We should be together too
[03:12] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[03:16] got out of bed at all
[03:19] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[03:22] and I can't see at all
[03:24] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[03:28] put your picture on my wall
[03:31] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[03:34] it's not so bad..
[03:36] Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
[03:39] this'll be the last package I ever send your ass
[03:42] It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
[03:44] I know you got my last two letters;
[03:46] I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
[03:48] So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
[03:51] I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
[03:54] Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
[03:57] You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
[04:00] about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
[04:03] but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
[04:06] That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
[04:08] Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
[04:12] and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
[04:15] I hope you know I ripped +ALL+ of your pictures off the wall
[04:17] I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
[04:21] You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
[04:24] And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
[04:27] I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me See Slim
[04:30] Shut up bitch! I'm tryin to talk!
[04:33] Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
[04:35] but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up,
[04:38] see I ain't like you cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
[04:42] Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
[04:45] Oh shit, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this shit out?
[05:00] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[05:04] got out of bed at all
[05:06] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[05:10] and I can't see at all
[05:12] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[05:15] put your picture on my wall
[05:18] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[05:22] it's not so bad..
[05:23] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
[05:26] You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
[05:29] Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
[05:32] and here's an autograph for your brother,
[05:34] I wrote it on the Starter cap
[05:36] I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
[05:39] Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
[05:42] But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
[05:45] I say that shit just clownin dogg,
[05:47] c'mon - how ****ed up is you?
[05:49] You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
[05:51] to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
[05:55] And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
[05:57] That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
[06:00] I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
[06:03] or maybe you just need to treat her better
[06:05] I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time before you hurt yourself,
[06:10] I think that you'll be doin just fine if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
[06:15] why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
[06:19] I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
[06:21] I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
[06:24] Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
[06:27] and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
[06:30] and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
[06:33] Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
[06:36] Damn!
