about
12/06/05, The Crocodile - Seattle, WA
Early on the band would have these pretty nutty after show parties. Everyone would be doing a lot of X.
It got to the point where I go the vibe that the "audience" would only go to the show in order to go to the drug party afterwards.
I was never a big fan of it because the positive energy that would result was revolting to me. :)
Later on people started not going to our after show party. It would just be the band with a couple beers looking at each other. Jason would make tater tots.

lyrics
Half a dozen ugly people are hanging out in my living room
They’d gladly jump me when the lights go out
Collapse and contrast the center of my world
My rock and roll world
Don’t feel like I belong here, Maybe I don't belong anywhere
I barely care what youre talking about
The lights below me, Just bumming out on this scene
This fucking scene
Don’t say what you think or do what you want
Just sit on your hands and play with the drugs
Just wasting my time, Just hoping for hope, well I hope that it's true
I’m bracing for the impact, connecting dots to trace the face
Of people that I wish I knew, but there’s nothing there
It's just a blank sheet above, white as a dove
Don’t say what you think or do what you want
Just sit on your hands and play with the drugs
Just wasting my time, Just hoping for hope
To turn out the lights that don’t even shine
And all of my “friends” have crawled off and died
They're fading from view too fast and too far
The smell of the road, the smell of cigars
The taste of the whiskey inside of you
I’m leaving today...
They’d gladly jump me when the lights go out
Collapse and contrast the center of my world
My rock and roll world
Don’t feel like I belong here, Maybe I don't belong anywhere
I barely care what youre talking about
The lights below me, Just bumming out on this scene
This fucking scene
Don’t say what you think or do what you want
Just sit on your hands and play with the drugs
Just wasting my time, Just hoping for hope, well I hope that it's true
I’m bracing for the impact, connecting dots to trace the face
Of people that I wish I knew, but there’s nothing there
It's just a blank sheet above, white as a dove
Don’t say what you think or do what you want
Just sit on your hands and play with the drugs
Just wasting my time, Just hoping for hope
To turn out the lights that don’t even shine
And all of my “friends” have crawled off and died
They're fading from view too fast and too far
The smell of the road, the smell of cigars
The taste of the whiskey inside of you
I’m leaving today...
