One Night In '99 - Biting Elbows

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

This goes out to everyone who helped us out along the way Thank you!
