MEET ME AT THE STAIRS
–J. Wrabek
1.
The party’s almost over–I hope you liked the show;
There’s a little matter of extracting cash before we go;
I’ve got a truck, a girlfriend, and a habit to maintain,
And they’d all be grateful for support if you can spare the change.
CHORUS:
I’ve got CDs available–just meet me at the stairs;
I hope it’s true that the likes of you are the answer to my prayers;
I’d sell my soul for a hoagie roll, my body is for loan–
I need the cash to get the gas to get my body home.
2.
I’ve still got action figures left, and they’ve still got hands and feet;
Just replace the batteries and they sound a lot like me;
Look how their pockets are hanging out, they’ve lost their eyes and hair–
Buy ‘em all–you can have a band!--just meet me at the stairs.
CHORUS
I’ve got CDs available–just meet me at the stairs;
I hope it’s true that the likes of you are the answer to my prayers;
I’d sell my soul for a hoagie roll, my body is for loan–
I need the cash to get the gas to get my body home.
LEAD BREAK (IF ANYBODY CAN PLAY LEAD)
3.
I’ll strip out in the parking lot on top of someone’s car;
It’s okay to bring the kids–I’ve got a big guitar;
I have to charge for the Polaroids, but I’ll autograph ‘em there–
Want a peep? Ticket’s cheap–just meet me at the stairs.
CHORUS
I’ve got CDs available–just meet me at the stairs;
I hope it’s true that the likes of you are the answer to my prayers;
I’d sell my soul for a hoagie roll, my body is for loan–
I need the cash to get the gas to get my body home.
4.
My dog died of starvation, and I’m scared that I’ll be next;
My boat and ex-wife’s trailer house are all that I have left;
My reward can’t be in Heaven–they don’t take musicians there;
I have to get it here on earth, so meet me at the stairs.
CHORUS
I’ve got CDs available–just meet me at the stairs;
I hope it’s true that the likes of you are the answer to my prayers;
I’d sell my soul for a hoagie roll, my body is for loan–
I need the cash to get the gas to get my body home.
REPEAT LAST LINE OF CHORUS & END
