VERSE 1 (Garnet) and when the snow gets loose in my shoes it’s assumed that Winter’s on its way here I am at a party full of people and it’s clear, that I need to find a new pair of socks, my shoes are ponds, and a beer, a couple of joints, and the plot, gotta quit this conversation, I need an easy escape, I need to wake up and work tomorrow, or I guess today, as it’s 12:15 in the AM, I want the 12:30 home, it ain’t waiting, and I go to remove my self from the house, and i’m mistaken for Shaun White again, and it’s cool, it’s cool… and I run to the bus and i’m slippin in slush, and the wine in my stomach’s got me trippin’ a buzz then i’m trying to retrieve my transfer. trouble is, I don’t really have one, and i’m trying to fib until we’re moving, say I’ve got one, then play stupid, Problem is, he’s calling my bluff, and waiting on me pulling out my stupid ticket stub, And we wait, passengers pissed on my delay, and that’s fine, except the driver gets mad, and just stays, and I give in, and give him the $2 to ride, i forgot it’s not still just a buck and a half, as i pass all these people on my way to the back, and happen myself on a seat to relax and I find I’m beside a pile of guys that are eyeing me up, and i’m trying to rely on the fact that I’m six and a half feet up from the sole of my shoe i’m gonna use to bruise these dudes if they choose to provoke or induce a scrap in the back of the bus or a feud on the street, if i leave, and they come, and I run, and they run, and my lights go out, that ain’t fun, but they exit the bus, at the next stop, Lorimer Road, with no fuss, And i’m thinking to myself, I just avoided confrontation, that could have been- Hello! I say, to a lady and her puppy, She’s very cute, and I’m feeling kind of lucky, ’cause she sat next to me on a bus full of empty seats, we start talking about cameras and CDs, She says she just got published, I tell her that my first album sold almost 22 copies, She laughs and she gives me her number, and tells me I can call her as we pull up to her stop, Now I’m thinking about how this started as a bad trip, and turned into a good trip, and nothing even happened, I just sat back, and saw action, and watched, and shortly thereafter I arrived at my stop, and got off, Walked into the house, saw Mike was sitting on the couch, and said “Yo Mike, what’s happening with you.. How’d your night go?”

VERSE 2 (Mike) Friday night, finished work, and we were feeling on the… Ball so we walked around the town and downed some vodka… Consuming booze in mass amounts we didn’t plan on blacking out but you were in the mood to party hard, I couldn’t stop ya, Tried to pick up ladies in the beginning we were killing it until I had to babysit n explain to them you’re into it, We had it in the bag, but you blew it for the both of us, those chicks were wanting to party til you let your mouth open up, so we ditched em started hitching caught a ride went on a mission, with no destination, steady blazing, extra heavy drinking, Mixing gin n juice n whiskey chasing it with rum and coke, wishing we were smart and fixed, instead of being dumb and broke, then the sun came up, turning night into day, skipped the sleep and hit repeat and then deleted Saturday, I wish I knew what happened cause I went on a date, but I’m pretty good in auto-pilot, think it got me laid? Next day came, you came to it at 2… 30 in the afternoon and you were begging for food, so I carried you to subway that was on Sunday today is Tuesday you missed your last 2 days, At work that dude Kirk who claims to be your boss, saw you in the village Monday night drinking Jaeger bombs, you called in sick with syphilis and said that you would miss some shifts, then showed up at the foto-lab and figured you would get some prints, of the night before, to place the pieces in the puzzle but you either lost your camera on the bus or village shuttle, the weekend was more like a strong start dude, we don’t remember much but we love what we do, We act a fool!
