[00:54.740]I sent two letters back in autumn You must not have got 'em
[00:57.670]There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
[01:00.640]
[01:00.820]Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
[01:03.620]But anyways, **** it, what's been up man, how's your daughter?
[01:06.680]My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm out to be a father
[01:09.170]If I have a daughter, guess what I'm-a call her? I'm-a
[01:11.950]name her Bonnie.
[01:12.720]
[01:12.920]I read about your uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
[01:15.510]I had a friend kill himself over some ***** who didn't wanthim.
[01:18.620]I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggestfan.

[02:00.330]Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote,
[02:02.830]I hope you have the chance.
[02:03.850]I ain't mad, I just think it's ****** up you don't answer fans.
[02:06.950]If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert
[02:09.570]You didn't have to but you could have signed an autograph for Matthew.
[02:12.660]That's my little brother, man. He's only 6 years old.
[02:14.820]We waited in the blistering cold for you for 4 hours and ya just said no.
[02:18.910]That's pretty ***tty man, you're like his ******' idol
[02:21.810]He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more
[02:23.930]than I do.
[02:24.620]
[02:24.800]I ain't that mad, but I just don't like bein' lied to.
[02:27.650]Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
[02:30.580]You would write back. See, I'm just like you in a way.
[02:32.920]I never knew my father neither.
[02:34.730]He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her.
[02:36.870]
[02:37.070]I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs.
[02:39.490]So when I have a ***tty day, I drift away and put 'em on.
[02:42.450]Cause I don't really got ***t else, so that ***t help when I'm depressed.
[02:45.580]I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest.
[02:48.270]
[02:48.690]Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds.
[02:51.700]It's like adrenaline. The Pain is such a sudden rush for me.
[02:54.240]See, everything you say is real, and I respect you
[02:57.100]'cause you tell it.
[02:57.650]My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7.
[03:00.630]But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does.
[03:03.430]She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up.
[03:06.510]You've gotta call me man. I'll be the biggest fan
[03:08.540]you'll ever lose.
[03:09.350]Sincerely yours, Stan. PS: We should be together too.
[03:12.480]
[03:12.650]My tears gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
[03:19.130]the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
[03:25.130]And even if I could it'd all be great, to put your picture on my wall
[03:31.140]it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[03:35.910]
[03:36.150]Dear Mr. "I'm too good to call or write my fans"
[03:39.370]This'll be the last package I ever send your ass.
[03:42.490]It's been six months and still no word. I don't deserve it?
[03:45.100]I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect.
[03:48.580]
[03:48.770]So this is my cassette I'm sending you. I hope you hear it.
[03:51.240]I'm in the car right now. I'm doing 90 on the freeway.
[03:54.480]Hey Slim, "I drank a fifth of vodka, ya dare me to drive?"
[03:58.000]You know that song by Phil Collins from "The Air In The Night"?
[04:00.950]About that guy who could have saved that other guy fromdrowning?
[04:03.790]But didn't? Then Phil saw it all then at his show he found him?
[04:06.680]That's kinda how this is. You could have rescued me fromdrowning.
[04:09.570]Now it's too late. I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy.
[04:12.140]
[04:12.390]And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call.
[04:15.440]I hope you know I ripped all o' your pictures off the wall.
[04:18.630]I love you Slim, we could have been together. Think about it.
[04:22.020]You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it.
[04:25.150]And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it.
[04:28.100]I hope your conscious eats at you and you can't breathe without me.
[04:31.480]See Slim, {"{"}screaming} shut up *****, I'm trying to talk
[04:33.660]Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk.
[04:36.590]But I didn't slit her throat,
[04:37.860]I just tied her up, see I ain't like you.
[04:39.660]'Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more,
[04:41.810]and then she'll die too.
[04:42.980]Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now.
[04:45.850]Oh ***t, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this ***t out?
[04:48.900]
[04:49.840]{"{"}screeching tires, cra***ng sounds, car splashes into thewater}
[04:58.590]
[05:00.990]My tears gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
[05:07.160]the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
[05:13.150]And even if I could it'd all be great, but your picture on my wall
[05:19.280]it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[05:24.050]
[05:24.630]Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy.
[05:27.580]You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
[05:30.660]Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that.
[05:33.520]And here's an autograph for your brother:
[05:35.110]I wrote it on your Starter cap.
[05:36.690]
[05:36.980]I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must have missed you.
[05:40.010]Don't think I did that ***t intentionally, just to diss you.
[05:43.020]And what's this ***t you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
[05:46.150]I say that ***t just clownin' dawg,
[05:47.670]c'mon, how ****** up is you?
[05:49.000]You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'
[05:51.650]To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some.
[05:54.820]
[05:55.220]And what's this ***t about us meant to be together?
[05:57.320]That type of ***t'll make me not want us to meet each other.
[06:00.550]I really think you and your girlfriend need each other.
[06:03.500]Or maybe you just need to treat her better.
[06:05.960]I hope you get to read this letter.
[06:07.620]I just hope it reaches you in time.
[06:09.430]Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'd be doin' just fine
[06:12.390]If you'd relax a little. I'm glad that I inspire you, but Stan
[06:15.560]Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan.
[06:19.170]I just don't want you to do some crazy ***t.
[06:21.630]I seen this one ***t on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick.
[06:24.780]Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
[06:27.570]And had his girlfriend in the trunk and she was
[06:29.470]pregnant with his kid
[06:30.450]And in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who it was to
[06:33.460]Come to think about it...his name was...it was you.
[06:36.650]Damn.
