Story Behind the Song
This song tells the story of a night I shared with my college roommate Gavin in our Sophomore year. The power went out and we stayed up all night drinking tequilla and talking. Good times!
Lyrics
good night came in goodnight packages
daylong injury, all night bandages
all the night laughing, bad day salvages
'round four o'clock, bird call audible
still enough left to get the tiny glass full
tell me again, what's your chemical?
no, you'll never, never, never, never know
what you miss, miss, miss saying no
foul-stench-happy-feel spanish combine
wash it down with a glass of lemon-lime
would i knowing i'd sleep at the wrong time?
faintest music from the little disc turning
red wax candle, strange fire burning
as me and you are each other learning
no, you'll never, never, never, never know
what you miss, miss, miss saying no
trash around the room is scit-scattering
dead black hall, four feet pit-pattering
through waterfall two voice chit-chattering
talk with them, you ease what's wrong
back in the room debating paul's best song
so on and so forth, so suddenly dawn
no, you'll never, never, never, never know
what you miss, miss, miss saying no
