They were failing dutifully |
|
If you're going to fail at all |
|
Failing came more easily |
|
Than it did to us all |
|
And I wanted to be there |
|
See them begin |
|
It was easy to see they were |
|
The best band to be in |
|
I gave up drugging |
|
When you spiked my drink |
|
Stopped freeloading |
|
When I could not get in |
|
I gave up singing |
|
When I was told |
|
I could not dance |
|
Knew my place in the world |
|
When I heard them start |
|
|
|
|
|
Woke up Sunday morning |
|
With a hole |
|
the size of my pool |
|
Couldn't believe |
|
I'd grown so ugly |
|
Couldn't believe |
|
I'd been so cruel |
|
I should have set back |
|
Thought about their past |
|
East coast to west coast |
|
How they'd struggled |
|
for their art |
|
|
|
|
|
Some people |
|
were born to write |
|
Some people |
|
were born to dance |
|
Thought I knew |
|
my place in the world |
|
Thought I knew my art |
|
Glad to be there, see them begin |
|
It was easy to see |
|
They were the best band to be in |
