Stan (Radio Edit)

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window..

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray,

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad,

It's not so bad..

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window..

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray,

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad,

It's not so bad..

Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin

I left my cell, my pager,

and my home phone at the bottom

I sent two letters back in autumn,

you must not-a got 'em

There probably was a problem at the post office

or something

Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy

when I jot 'em

But anyways; f*** it, what's been up?

Man how's your daughter?

My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father

If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?

I'ma name her Bonnie

I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry

I had a friend [killed] himself over some b****

who didn't want him

I know you probably hear this everyday,

but I'm your biggest fan

I even got the underground s*** that you did with Skam

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man

I like the s*** you did with Ruckus too,

that s*** was phat

Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,

Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan

This is Stan

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window..

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray,

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad,

It's not so bad..

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote,

I hope you have a chance

I ain't mad -

I just think it's f***ed up you don't answer fans

If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

You didn't have to,

but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew

That's my little brother man, he's only six years old

We waited in the blistering cold for you,

Four hours and you just said, "No."

That's pretty sh**ty man -

you're like his f**kin' idol

He wants to be just like you man,

he likes you more than I do

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

It's like adrenaline,

the pain is such a sudden rush for me

See everything you say is real,

and I respect you 'cuz you tell it

My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7

But she don't know you like I know you Slim,

no one does

She don't know

what it was like for people like us growin up

You gotta call me man,

I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S.

We should be together too

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window..

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray,

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad,

It's not so bad..

Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,

This'll be the last package I ever send your ass

It's been six months and still no word -

I don't deserve it?

I know you got my last two letters;

I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

So this is my cassette I'm sending you,

I hope you hear it

I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway

I love you Slim, we coulda been together,

think about it

You ruined it now,

I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and

you scream about it

I hope your conscience eats at you and

you can't breathe without me

See Slim; shut up b****! I'm trying to talk!

Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend [screamin in the trunk]

But I didn't [slit her throat],

I just [tied her up], see I ain't like you

Cause if she [suffocates] she'll suffer more,

and then she'll [die], too

Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now

Oh s**t, I forgot,

how am I supposed to send this s**t out?

Dear Stan,

I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy

You said your girlfriend's pregnant now,

how far along is she?

Look,

I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

And here's an autograph for your brother,

I wrote it on the Starter cap

I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show,

I musta missed you

Don't think I did that s**t intentionally

just to diss you

And what's this s**t you said about you

like to [cut] your wrists too?

I say that [shit] just clowning dog,

C'mon - how f**ked up is you?

You got some issues Stan,

I think you need some counselling

To help your ass from bouncing off the walls

when you get down some

And what's this s**t about us meant to be together?

That type of s**t'll make me not want us to

meet each other

I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

Or maybe you just need to treat her better

I hope you get to read this letter,

I just hope it reaches you in time

Before you hurt yourself,

I think that you'll be doin just fine

If you relax a little,

I'm glad I inspire you but Stan

Why are you so mad? Try to understand,

that I do want you as a fan

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

I seen this one s**t on the news a couple weeks ago

that made me sick

Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

And had his [girlfriend in the trunk],

and she was pregnant with his kid

And in the car they found a tape,

but they didn't say who it was to

Come to think about, his name was.. it was you

Damn!
