[00:00.30]
[00:01.73] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[00:05.36] got out of bed at all
[00:07.87] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[00:11.37] and I can't see at all
[00:13.71] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[00:17.25] put your picture on my wall
[00:19.70] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[00:23.49] it's not so bad..
[00:25.67] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[00:29.30] got out of bed at all
[00:31.53] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[00:35.52] and I can't see at all
[00:37.86] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[00:41.16] put your picture on my wall
[00:43.59] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[00:47.27] it's not so bad..
[00:49.46] Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin
[00:51.97] I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
[00:55.06] I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
[00:57.94] There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin
[01:01.04] Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
[01:04.13] but anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
[01:07.00] My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
[01:09.44] If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
[01:11.78] I'ma name her Bonnie I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
[01:15.78] I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
[01:18.98] I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
[01:22.53] I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
[01:25.50] I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
[01:28.37] I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was fat
[01:31.59] Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
[01:34.17] just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
[01:36.51] This is Stan
[01:37.97] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[01:41.30] got out of bed at all
[01:43.58] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[01:47.34] and I can't see at all
[01:49.55] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[01:53.10] put your picture on my wall
[01:55.56] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[01:59.26] it's not so bad..
[02:00.80] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote,
[02:03.16] I hope you have a chance I ain't mad
[02:04.92] I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans
[02:07.25] If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
[02:09.81] you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
[02:12.76] That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
[02:15.28] We waited in the blistering cold for you,
[02:17.33] four hours and you just said, "No." That's pretty shitty man
[02:20.50] you're like his fuckin idol He wants to be just like you man,
[02:23.46] he likes you more than I do I ain't that mad though,
[02:26.89] I just don't like bein lied to Remember when we met in Denver
[02:29.77] you said if I'd write you, you would write back
[02:31.86] see I'm just like you in a way I never knew my father neither
[02:35.09] he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
[02:37.45] I can relate to what you're saying in your songs so when I have a shitty day,
[02:41.19] I drift away and put 'em on
[02:42.59] cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
[02:45.89] I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
[02:48.93] Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
[02:51.86] It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
[02:54.63] See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
[02:57.86] My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
[03:01.05] But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
[03:03.84] She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up
[03:06.50] You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
[03:09.61] Sincerely yours, Stan
[03:10.84] P.S. We should be together too
[03:13.75] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[03:17.24] got out of bed at all
[03:19.60] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[03:23.44] and I can't see at all
[03:25.78] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[03:29.08] put your picture on my wall
[03:31.55] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[03:35.29] it's not so bad..
[03:37.24] Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
[03:39.88] this'll be the last package I ever send your ass
[03:42.72] It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
[03:45.40] I know you got my last two letters;
[03:47.00] I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
[03:48.91] So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
[03:51.81] I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
[03:54.94] Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
[03:58.29] You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
[04:01.00] about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
[04:03.89] but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
[04:06.92] That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
[04:09.77] Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
[04:13.16] and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
[04:15.97] I hope you know I ripped +ALL+ of your pictures off the wall
[04:18.86] I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
[04:22.27] You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
[04:25.39] And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
[04:28.28] I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me See Slim
[04:32.30] Shut up bitch! I'm tryin to talk!
[04:34.10] Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
[04:36.58] but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up,
[04:38.95] see I ain't like you cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
[04:43.35] Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
[04:46.09] Oh shit, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this shit out?
[04:49.04]
[05:01.60] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[05:05.21] got out of bed at all
[05:07.51] The morning rain clouds up my window..
[05:11.34] and I can't see at all
[05:13.57] And even if I could it'll all be grey,
[05:17.10] put your picture on my wall
[05:19.58] It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[05:23.28] it's not so bad..
[05:24.88] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
[05:28.03] You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
[05:30.94] Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
[05:33.75] and here's an autograph for your brother,
[05:35.53] I wrote it on the Starter cap
[05:37.16] I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
[05:40.42] Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
[05:43.26] But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
[05:46.31] I say that shit just clownin dogg,
[05:47.90] c'mon - how fucked up is you?
[05:49.33] You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
[05:52.00] to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
[05:55.17] And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
[05:57.95] That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
[06:01.23] I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
[06:04.01] or maybe you just need to treat her better
[06:06.19] I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time before you hurt yourself,
[06:10.89] I think that you'll be doin just fine if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
[06:15.75] why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
[06:19.45] I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
[06:21.55] I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
[06:25.04] Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
[06:27.71] and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
[06:30.74] and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
[06:33.60] Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
[06:37.27] Damn!
[06:37.71]
