Lyrics
Sitting at club distracted by the table dancers
Sitting at a club, distracted by the table dancers
I didn't tip her, I guess I forgot my table manners
Didn't tip the dancer, reflecting a lapse in manners
I Think I was distracted from all the pretty lights
Distracted from the attractive lights at the club
I had to get home, I had a quiz due at midnight
Had to leave because of an impending midnight quiz
It was foggy and I couldn't see the freeway
Foggy conditions while driving, impeding visibility
I didn't care had to belt this hook by green day
Despite conditions, felt the need to sing a hook by Green Day
But does that make me the one who is the basket case
Raising the question of whether being distracted makes him a 'basket case'
Hit the guardrail, now I got glass on all my face
Crashed into a guardrail, resulting in facial injuries from shattered glass
Red in my vision now my eyes hurt from the contacts
Seeing red due to the vision impairment caused by broken contact lenses
Distracted driving I had no time to react
Acknowledging distracted driving and the inability to react in time
Now my moms gonna be pissed at me
Anticipating disapproval from his mother for not being cautious
Cause she told me to be smart and I failed you see
Reflecting on a failure to heed his mother's advice
Now that's a lesson
Labeling the experience as a lesson learned
But I survived that was a blessing
Expressing gratitude for surviving the accident as a blessing
Avoided heaven
Avoided death and the prospect of going to heaven
I've feared death since I was 7
Revealing a long-standing fear of death since childhood
But now I'm the one who has to pay for the damage
Bearing the consequences and responsibility for the accident
Can't get studio time cause I'm broke a disadvantage
Facing financial difficulties, hindering access to a recording studio
This was just something I had to come back from
Viewing the experience as a challenge to overcome
Life's a circus and I'm the one whose Tom Thumb
Comparing life to a circus and himself to Tom Thumb, highlighting his small role or challenges
So I hope you all enjoyed listening to my little story
Expressing the hope that listeners enjoyed his personal narrative
I'm not Royce, but this my own allegory
Acknowledging that he is not Royce, emphasizing the personal nature of his allegory
