Hey I Really Like Your Band
A Kid Hereafter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey I really like your band,
Do you play ping pong?
Hey I really like your band,
I feel like singing along,
Hey I really like your band,
Hey I really like your band.

Hey I really like your band,
Do you play ping pong?
Hey I really like your band,
I feel like singing along,
Hey I really like your band,
Hey I really like your band.

It beats staying home,
Climbing the walls,
Hearing the neighbours fucking down the hall,
Watching a spider climbing the celling,
Completely devoid of all human feelings.

That's why I go out,
and listen to you,
I don't know the words but I'm sure that they're true,
I'm like a stormtrooper,




For a teenage god,
You may not be Jesus but I'll take what you've got.
