Stan

[00:01.06] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[00:07.05] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[00:13.05] And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[00:18.81] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[00:25.26] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[00:31.11] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[00:36.96] And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[00:43.09] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[00:48.04] Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't calling

[00:51.57] I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom

[00:53.82] I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em

[00:56.81] There probably was a problem at the post office or something

[01:00.30] Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

[01:03.59] But anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man, how's your daughter?

[01:06.31] My girlfriend's pregnant, too, I'm bout to be a father

[01:09.05] If I have a daughter, guess what I'mma call her?

[01:11.55] I'mma name her Bonnie

[01:12.80] I read about your Uncle Ronnie, too, I'm sorry

[01:15.59] I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him

[01:18.55] I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan

[01:21.65] I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam

[01:24.91] I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man

[01:27.66] I like the shit you did with Rawkus, too, that shit was phat

[01:30.67] Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back,

[01:33.93] Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan

[01:35.80] This is Stan

[01:37.05] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[01:42.80] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[01:49.06] And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[01:54.55] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[02:00.30] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance

[02:03.80] I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans

[02:06.56] If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

[02:09.07] You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew

[02:12.32] That's my little brother man, he's only six years old

[02:14.80] We waited in the blistering cold for you,

[02:17.05] For four hours and you just said, "No."

[02:18.80] That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fucking idol

[02:21.06] He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do

[02:24.54] I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to

[02:27.55] Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you

[02:30.70] You would write back - see I'm just like you in a way

[02:32.82] I never knew my father neither;

[02:34.83] He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her

[02:36.82] I can relate to what you're saying in your songs

[02:39.33] So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on

[02:42.31] 'Cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed

[02:45.09] I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest

[02:48.33] Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds

[02:51.33] It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me

[02:54.33] See everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it

[02:57.57] My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7

[03:00.59] But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does

[03:03.58] She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up

[03:06.36] You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

[03:09.34] Sincerely yours, Stan

[03:10.23] P.S.

[03:10.98] We should be together, too

[03:12.21] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[03:19.09] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[03:24.61] And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[03:30.83] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[03:36.33] Dear Mister I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,

[03:39.36] This'll be the last package I ever send your ass

[03:42.59] It's been six months and still no word. I don't deserve it?

[03:44.61] I know you got my last two letters;

[03:46.34] I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

[03:48.33] So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it

[03:51.09] I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway

[03:54.34] Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?

[03:57.83] You know the song by Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight"

[04:00.63] About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning

[04:03.59] But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?

[04:06.58] That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning

[04:09.35] Now it's too late. I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy

[04:12.83] And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

[04:15.34] I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall

[04:18.09] I love you, Slim, we coulda been together, think about it

[04:21.59] You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

[04:24.62] And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it

[04:27.59] I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me

[04:30.83] See, Slim,—shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk!

[04:33.58] Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk,

[04:36.36] But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up. See, I ain't like you

[04:39.34] 'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die, too

[04:42.87] Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now

[04:45.60] Oh shit, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this shit out?

[04:59.83] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

[05:06.61] The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

[05:12.63] And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall

[05:18.59] It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[05:24.33] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I've just been busy

[05:27.61] You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?

[05:30.35] Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

[05:33.10] And here's an autograph for your brother,

[05:35.10] I wrote it on the Starter cap

[05:36.59] I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you

[05:39.85] Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you

[05:42.83] But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists, too?

[05:46.08] I say that shit just clowning dogg,

[05:47.59] C'mon! How fucked up is you?

[05:48.84] You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling

[05:51.12] To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some

[05:54.61] And what's this shit about us meant to be together?

[05:57.34] That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other

[06:00.36] I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

[06:03.13] Or maybe you just need to treat her better

[06:05.59] I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time

[06:09.34] Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doing just fine

[06:12.11] If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but, Stan

[06:15.35] Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan

[06:19.09] I just don't want you to do some crazy shit

[06:21.09] I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick

[06:24.36] Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

[06:27.21] And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid

[06:30.47] And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to

[06:33.25] Come to think about it, his name was... it was you

[06:36.72] Damn!
