Biting Elbows - One Night In '99

Below a pool table I lie.
One night in '99.
Half asleep when that song begins.
Have to go find out who it is?

From the basement of the house party.
I crawl up three flights of stairs.
Like half a zombie.
People dancing on my hand I demand.
Tell me the name of that ridiculously awesome band.
But no one hears me or gives a shit.
About a stupid boy at the time unfit to stand on his two legs.
And ask politely instead he begs.:
"Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me!"

A wasted skater, told me their name later.
Before this, to music I was a hater.
I had to go and I had to follow through.
I bought their tapes and soon after I got their tattoo.
But, by then their voice was dead living on in my headphones.
With so much left unsaid.
I wish I could have thanked them personally.
They did so much for me.
