[Chorus]
2
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
3
Got out of bed at all
4
The morning rain clouds up my window
5
And I can't see at all
6
And even if I could it'll all be gray,
7
Put your picture on my wall
8
It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
9
It's not so bad
10
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
11
Got out of bed at all
12
The morning rain clouds up my window
13
And I can't see at all
14
And even if I could it'll all be gray,
15
Put your picture on my wall
16
It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
17
It's not so bad
18
Dear Slim, I wrote you but still ain't callin'
19
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
20
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
21
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
22
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
23
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
24
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
25
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her?
26
I'm a name her Bonnie
27
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
28
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
29
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
30
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
31
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
32
I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was fat
33
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
34
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
35
This is Stan
36
[Chorus]
37
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
38
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans
39
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
40
You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
41
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
42
We waited in the blistering cold for you,
43
For four hours and you just said, "No."
44
That's pretty shitty man, you're like his fuckin' idol
45
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
46
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein' lied to
47
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I'd write you you would write back,
48
See I'm just like you in a way
49
I never knew my father neither,
50
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
51
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
52
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
53
'Cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
54
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
55
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
56
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
57
See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
58
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
59
But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
60
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up, you gotta call me man,
61
I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
62
Sincerely yours, Stan, P.S. we should be together too
63
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
64
Got out of bed at all
65
The morning rain clouds up my window
66
And I can't see at all
67
And even if I could it'll all be gray,
68
Put your picture on my wall
69
It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
70
It's not so bad
71
Dear Mister "I'm Too Good To Call Or Write My Fans",
72
This will be the last package I ever send your ass
73
It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it?
74
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
75
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
76
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
77
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka,
78
You dare me to drive?
79
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
80
About that guy who could a saved that other guy from drowning
81
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
82
That's kinda how this is, you could a rescued me from drowning
83
Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy
84
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
85
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall
86
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
87
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
88
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
89
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
90
See Slim, shut up bitch! I'm tryin' to talk!
91
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
92
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
93
'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
94
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
95
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
96
[Chorus]
97
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
98
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
99
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
100
And here's an autograph for your brother,
101
I wrote it on the Starter cap
102
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must of missed you
103
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
104
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
105
I say that shit just clownin' dog, come on, how fucked up is you?
106
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
107
To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
108
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
109
That type of shit will make me not want us to meet each other
110
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
111
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
112
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
113
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine
114
If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
115
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
116
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
117
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
118
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
119
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
120
And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
121
Come to think about, his name was, it was you
122
Damn!
