Stan

[00:00.99] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[00:06.98] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[00:13.24] And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[00:18.99] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[00:25.23] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[00:30.99] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[00:37.24] And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[00:42.98] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[00:49.14] Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't calling

[00:51.38] I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom

[00:54.39] I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em

[00:57.14] There probably was a problem at the post office or something

[01:00.39] Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

[01:03.14] But anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man, how's your daughter?

[01:06.38] My girlfriend's pregnant, too, I'm bout to be a father

[01:08.89] If I have a daughter, guess what I'mma call her?

[01:11.14] I'mma name her Bonnie

[01:13.14] I read about your Uncle Ronnie, too, I'm sorry

[01:15.13] I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him

[01:18.38] I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan

[01:21.88] I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam

[01:24.89] I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man

[01:27.88] I like the shit you did with Rawkus, too, that shit was phat

[01:31.13] Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back

[01:33.39] Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan

[01:35.64] This is Stan

[01:37.13] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[01:43.14] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[01:48.89] And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[01:54.89] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[02:00.38] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance

[02:03.64] I ain't mad - I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans

[02:06.88] If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

[02:08.89] You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew

[02:12.14] That's my little brother man, he's only six years old

[02:14.88] We waited in the blistering cold for you

[02:16.63] For four hours and you just said, "No"

[02:18.88] That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fucking idol

[02:21.38] He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do

[02:24.63] I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to

[02:27.38] Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you

[02:30.13] You would write back - see I'm just like you in a way

[02:32.89] I never knew my father neither

[02:34.38] He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her

[02:36.88] I can relate to what you're saying in your songs

[02:39.13] So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on

[02:42.14] 'Cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed

[02:45.38] I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest

[02:48.13] Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds

[02:50.88] It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me

[02:54.13] See everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it

[02:57.38] My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7

[03:00.63] But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does

[03:03.39] She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up

[03:06.15] You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

[03:09.13] Sincerely yours, Stan

[03:10.39] P.S.

[03:10.89] We should be together, too

[03:13.14] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[03:18.89] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[03:24.89] And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[03:30.89] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[03:36.14] Dear Mister I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,

[03:39.63] This'll be the last package I ever send your ass

[03:41.88] It's been six months and still no word. I don't deserve it?

[03:44.88] I know you got my last two letters;

[03:46.39] I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

[03:48.64] So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it

[03:51.38] I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway

[03:54.39] Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?

[03:57.88] You know the song by Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight"

[04:00.53] About that guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning

[04:03.28] But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?

[04:06.03] That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning

[04:09.28] Now it's too late. I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy

[04:12.78] And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

[04:15.29] I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall

[04:18.28] I loved you, Slim, we could've been together, think about it

[04:21.78] You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

[04:24.78] And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it

[04:28.03] I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me

[04:30.78] See, Slim,—shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk!

[04:33.53] Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk,

[04:36.03] But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up. See, I ain't like you

[04:39.53] 'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die, too

[04:42.78] Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now

[04:45.53] Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?

[05:00.79] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[05:07.03] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[05:12.78] And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[05:19.03] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[05:24.28] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I've just been busy

[05:27.28] You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?

[05:30.28] Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

[05:33.03] And here's an autograph for your brother

[05:35.03] I wrote it on the Starter cap

[05:36.78] I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you

[05:39.78] Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you

[05:42.78] But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists, too?

[05:45.79] I say that shit's just clowning , dawg

[05:47.18] C'mon! How fucked up is you?

[05:48.92] You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling

[05:51.43] To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some

[05:54.68] And what's this shit about us meant to be together?

[05:57.18] That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other

[06:00.81] I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

[06:03.32] Or maybe you just need to treat her better

[06:05.57] I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time

[06:09.06] Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doing just fine

[06:12.20] If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but, Stan

[06:15.20] Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan

[06:18.95] I just don't want you to do some crazy shit

[06:20.95] I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick

[06:24.45] Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

[06:26.95] And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid

[06:29.95] And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to

[06:33.20] Come to think about it, his name was... it was you

[06:36.59] Damn!
