Stan

My teas gone cold, Im wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I cant see at all
And even if I could itd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that its not so bad, it′s not so bad
My teas gone cold, Im wondering why I got out of bed at all

Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still aint callin
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn You must not have got em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin

Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot em
But anyways, **** it, whats been up man, hows your daughter?
My girlfriends pregnant too, Im out to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what Im-a call her? Im-a
name her Bonnie.

I read about your uncle Ronnie too, Im sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some ***** who didnt wanthim.
I know you probably hear this everyday, but Im your biggestfan.
I even got the underground ***t that you did with Scam.

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man.
I like the ***t you did with Ruckus too, that ***t was fat.
Anyways , I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat
Truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan.

My tears gone cold, Im wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I cant see at all
And even if I could itd all be great, to put your picture on my wall
it reminds me that its not so bad, its not so bad

Dear Slim, you still aint called or wrote,
I hope you have the chance.
I aint mad, I just think its ****** up you dont answer fans.
If you didnt want to talk to me outside your concert
You didnt have to but you could have signed an autograph for Matthew.
Thats my little brother, man. Hes only 6 years old.
We waited in the blistering cold for you for 4 hours and ya just said no.
Thats pretty ***tty man, youre like his ****** idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more
than I do.

I aint that mad, but I just dont like bein lied to.
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
You would write back. See, Im just like you in a way.
I never knew my father neither.
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her.

I can relate to what youre sayin in your songs.
So when I have a ***tty day, I drift away and put em on.
Cause I dont really got ***t else, so that ***t help when Im depressed.
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest.

Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds.
Its like adrenaline. The Pain is such a sudden rush for me.
See, everything you say is real, and I respect you
cause you tell it.
My girlfriends jealous cause I talk about you 24/7.
But she dont know you like I know you, Slim, no one does.
She dont know what it was like for people like us growing up.
Youve gotta call me man. Ill be the biggest fan
youll ever lose.
Sincerely yours, Stan. PS: We should be together too.

My tears gone cold, Im wondering why I got out of bed at all

Dear Mr. 'Im too good to call or write my fans'
Thisll be the last package I ever send your ass.
Its been six months and still no word. I dont deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on em perfect.

So this is my cassette Im sending you. I hope you hear it.
Im in the car right now. Im doing 90 on the freeway.
Hey Slim, 'I drank a fifth of vodka, ya dare me to drive?'
You know that song by Phil Collins from 'The Air In The Night'?
About that guy who could have saved that other guy fromdrowning?
But didnt? Then Phil saw it all then at his show he found him?
Thats kinda how this is. You could have rescued me fromdrowning.
Now its too late. Im on a thousand downers now, Im drowsy.

And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call.
I hope you know I ripped all o your pictures off the wall.
I love you Slim, we could have been together. Think about it.
You ruined it now, I hope you cant sleep and you dream about it.
And when you dream, I hope you cant sleep and you scream about it.
I hope your conscious eats at you and you cant breathe without me.
See Slim, {'{'} screaming} shut up *****, Im trying to talk
Hey Slim, thats my girlfriend screaming in the trunk.
But I didnt slit her throat,
I just tied her up, see I aint like you.
Cause if she suffocates, shell suffer more,
and then shell die too.
Well, gotta go, Im almost at the bridge now.
Oh ***t, I forgot , how am I supposed to send this ***t out?

{'{'}screeching tires, cra***ng sounds, car splashes into thewater}

My tears gone cold , Im wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I cant see at all
And even if I could itd all be great, but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that its not so bad, its not so bad

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but Ive just been busy.
You said your girlfriends pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, Im really flattered you would call your daughter that.
And heres an autograph for your brother:
I wrote it on your Starter cap.

Im sorry I didnt see you at the show, I must have missed you.
Dont think I did that ***t intentionally, just to diss you.
And whats this ***t you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that ***t just clownin dawg,
cmon, how ****** up is you?
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin
To help your ass from bouncin off the walls when you get down some.

And whats this ***t about us meant to be together?
That type of ***tll 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 youd be doin just fine
If youd relax a little. Im glad that I inspire you, but Stan
Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan.
I just dont want you to do some crazy ***t.
I seen this one ***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 it didnt say who it was to
Come to think about it...his name was...it was you.
Damn.
