The Ballad of Bug and Xephe

Story Behind The Song

I later learned that the girl I had been laughing with for hours at the bar swore to never agree to another date with a guy she met at a bar. I didn't know that at the time. Being not so good at meeting people, I probably couldn't "read" her very well,

Lyrics

Shakin' in bed like I'm seventeen
Spent my day watching a better me
With a maroon half and a golden laugh

A partial recognition of my old self
Brought back by the misfit in someone else
Lets get too drunk to spend money
Bug and Xephe off and runnin'

Imprints can't be fast removed
When you like their grooves, but
Misfits, simple but its true can
Black each others blues out
You're just as smart a fool as me

As goodbyes start fallin
Cara smiles in gold and gray

I'm not going anyplace
I believe that leavin' you would
Be just like leavin me
Cause I'm just like you
And you're just like me

I don't wanna hear that its getting late
I don't even want sleep to take your place
We saw naked girls at Oranje
And the artists were all jealous
Of the picture we were painting
Bug and Xephe off and runnin

Imprints can't be fast removed
When you like their grooves, but
Misfits, simple but its true can
Black each others blues out
You're just as smart a fool as me

As her eyes start fallin
Cara shines in gold and gray

You were made for me
Dreams are dreamt for clues
Souls were made to meet
Old was made from new
One was made for two
Luck was made for few
Skies were made for blue
I was made for you
