Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The dirty ceiling needs a cleaning

Floors been beat, I stand hours before the show

Band pictures on the wall

Load the gear in, feeling like I know I'm not far from home

But this place feels real different from St. Paul

It ain't all sting, my friends are all around me

My cell phone, headphones, band, and microphone

I haven't eaten nothing but a continental breakfast

Thanks to Motel 6 for throwing a dog a bone

One can hardly feel alone with all these pictures

Press shots, you know the ones that you're supposed to sign

Tonight the stage is ours, we don't have that picture

That picture ain't us, I'll make the memory shine

[Verse 2]

Doors

Hey, Mr. D.J.

Would you flip it like the loser at a bullfight

Spin it like tequila with just a little bite

Twist it like a doorknob, let's start the night

The extended family is the crowd, and they're here

You're skeptical at first, but I'm glad that you cheer

I don't get stage fright, but Twinkie gets nervous

D-V-R-G dons the glasses and commence service

[Verse 3]

Stand up, stretch, hit the roof

Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose

That's the truth

Man, I want to see somebody jumpin'

Ain't no way y'all are gettin' somethin' for nothin'

Visualize and execute, that's it, keep moving

We told you it's not worse than pulling a tooth

Man, I wanna see everybody jumpin'

We can't let y'all get somethin' for nothin'

[Verse 4]

On stage I pace like a tiger

Yes Felix is a cat, and I've got cats at home

I know exactly how they feel when they lookin' out the window

My window's on the stage, just your side of the microphone

I'm looking at you, feel the eyes burnin'

Intensity is building, unconcerned with any person

It's just the mass that counts

Make 'em bounce 'till the sweat oozes out

Don't leave 'em with one ounce

Stalk your crew like an animal

Mid-set, take a little breath and share a few of those

Words with you and yours

Let me pace my space, maybe you'll see 'em feed me

I promise you before the end, you'll see me roar

[Verse 5]

Stand up, stretch, hit the roof

Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose

That's the truth

Man, I want to see somebody jumpin'

Ain't no way y'all are gettin' somethin' for nothin'

Visualize and execute, that's it, keep moving

We told you it's not worse than pulling a tooth

Man, I wanna see everybody jumpin'

We can't let y'all get somethin' for nothin'

[Verse 6]

Day to day drama weighs down my shoulders

I'm just too generous with limits

A sucker born every minute, they say

Maybe I'm a sucker but at least I'm not timid

Push the gimmicks to the left, integrity is to the right

Look through the middle at the floor, feel the stomach roar

This is still about the vibe in this place

Show them I'm realer than Chris Rock's hair in C-B-4

I see the door, but then leaving means defeat

If I take a seat, the local sharks will think that I'm weak

I've done this before, ****, you've done this before

So you know that's all to do is hold it down like a bungee cord

On stage there's an education to be had

The front row wants to teach you, and they want it that bad

The middle wants to nod they heads and give approval

Sound man teaches mic technique and wants your removal

Now there's work and there's play

There's worse and okay

And on a perfect day, I can do both

Some days, my teachers put me at the front of the class

Other days, I do all of my work and yet they're still at my throat

This is the kind of the night that when they raise the lights

The drinking doesn't stop, it just moves outside

B-Y-O-B, bring your own ********

I'll stay indoors, I learned a lot, thanks for the ride

[Verse 7]

Stand up, stretch, hit the roof

Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose

That's the truth

Man, I want to see somebody jumpin'

Ain't no way y'all are gettin' somethin' for nothin'

Visualize and execute, that's it, keep moving

We told you it's not worse than pulling a tooth

Man, I wanna see everybody jumpin'

We can't let y'all get somethin' for nothin'
