They were failing dutifully
|
If you?e 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 on Sunday morning
|
With a hole
|
the size of my pool
|
Couldn? believe
|
I? grown so ugly
|
Couldn? believe
|
I? been so cruel
|
I should?e set back
|
Thought about their past
|
East coast to west coast
|
How they? 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
|
