about

About a subject I know all too well...

lyrics

She had 37 costumes, but only 15 songs
I had no idea a dress could be that long
She had a couch, it was purple with gold trim
I almost impaled myself trying to carry it in
I got a wrench in my pocket and in my plans
And I can’t let down 20,000 screaming fans
No, this job’s not such a cinch
A swinging, 2-ton motor just missed me by an inch

(Pre-Chorus)
I never signed up for this, I only wanted to see the show
Maybe just some free tickets, (and) not to have to sit in the back row

(Chorus #1)
Don’t ask me why, it’s so hard to explain
Just help me move it out, and we’ll do it all over again

A girl backstage wants me to relieve all her tension
She asks if I’d put my plug in her extension
I tell her I’d like to lend a hand
Then she slaps me when she finds that I’m not in the band
And so I’m rolling out her big black box
And my flannel shirt is caught in one of the locks
Her rider says not to look in her eyes…
Unless it’s Thursday, your name is Al, and you’re a Gemini

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus #2)
Don’t ask me why, it’s so hard to explain
Just hurry it up kid, or we’re gonna miss our plane

Now I’m sliding through puddles of stale beer
Trying to haul this amp owned by Bob Weir
All this smoke in here, I think I’m getting stoned
I run to the vending machine, but I’m not all alone
I fumble around, looking for some spare change
It’s been a long trip, yes it’s been so strange
I think it’s all over, but much to my shock
Mickey Hart’s drums go by and they fly right over the dock

(Pre-Chorus/Repeat Chorus #1)
