lyrics

i'm gonna move somewhere new
and start a rock band no one's heard of,
and maybe when i do,
they'll be shocked to see me turn up,
in a rock band no one's heard of.

we'll play at all the local bars and grills,
where the thrills are even cheaper
than the drinks you spill and
everybody knows your name
but no one cares enough to say it.
(no one cares enough to say it)
we'll call ourselves the lonely cosmonauts
or freddy vs. jason and the argonauts
and we'll fuck up a journey song
every single time we play it.

i'm gonna move somewhere new
and start a rock band no one's heard of,
and maybe when i do,
they'll be shocked to see me turn up,
in a rock band no one's heard of.

we'll start to build a little following
of divorcees who aren't afraid of howling
or shouting out a song request
every single time we're playin'.
(every single time we're playin')
we'll take 'em back to thirty years ago.
the half price appetizers and the beers will flow.
they'll dance the night away until
their troubles start evaporating.

i'm gonna move somewhere new
and start a rock band no one's heard of,
and maybe when i do,
they'll be shocked to see me turn up,
in a rock band no one's heard of.

we'll rehearse in brett's garage
on saturdays, when his wife is gone
and we'll finally nail the intro to black hole sun.
i fuckin' love that song.

i'm gonna move somewhere new
and start a rock band no one's heard of,
and maybe when i do,
they'll be shocked to see me turn up,
in a rock band no one's heard of.
word up.
