Let's Make An Album Tonight
verse/
Feeling the need
For the deed
You know the one I mean
Where we lay down some tracks
Drums are smacked
Vocals st-st-stacked
Bought a tube pre
Off the net
For cheap
It's gorgeous with the
Lines that run deep
Copper wire
And magic noises
chorus/
Bring your guitar and a mic
I'll bring that pedal you like
Let's make an album tonight
I got some extra heaphones
So that we can get tones
Let's cut an album tonight
verse/
So it's time to dust off
Your Fender
Practice amp 5-watt's of
Solid-state tone
Guaranteed to make's the ladies moan
Now all of the dreams
That I had
Come to fruition
When I see
The red lights
Glowing bright
This is my mission / Hit the ignition
Radioshack
Microphone
Picks up vibrations
From the membranes/folds inside my throat
(we call it singing)
Then electrical charges move cones
that push the air into the
diaphragms inside our ears
producing/perceiving tones
chorus
Bring your guitar and a mic
I'll bring that pedal you like
Let's make an album tonight
Don't matter if notes ain't right
It's all about the vibe
Let's cut an album tonight
bridge/
Bring your lava lamp
I'll burn the incense

verse/
oh, I think back to 10th grade
we'd sneak away to smoke
a cigar
I didn't even like them
this was a ritual of our youth
way up on the cemetery hill
in the middle of the (long) night
we'd talk about the future
and make predictions
about where we'd be in 10 years
those are the kinds of things we did
before we started doing things
like paying bills and working jobs
chorus/
but I wish that I'd known when I was young
how I'd look back when it was gone
and realize things would never be the same again
as they were on...
grandview
memorial
garden
cemetery
way up on that big hill
above the city lights
out amongst the dead
I could see my life so clearly
verse/
Believe me I know the truth
There's no better place to hide
Than the glory of your youth
And I don't wanna make an excuse
And be self indulgent
And abuse the power of memory

verse/
Put it on the wall
I hung it up myself
A thumb tack and some tape
And a little bit of help
From the dresser by my bed
Cleared off so I could stand
High enough to reach
The spot next to Pearl Jam
chorus/
Ken Griffey Jr.'s on my wall
He's gonna bring me good luck when I play ball
I've got Ken Griffey Jr.'s rookie card
Mint condition without a mark
verse/
Saw it on the shelf
By Jose Canseco's card
I knew that it was mine
The decision wasn't hard
When I held it my hand
I trembled from the power
The magic scent of Upper Deck
It was my single greatest hour
chorus
bridge/
Man, I love the smell of an Upper Deck card
