BBQ Riot Song
ELLEGARDEN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun is shining like a blaze
Clouds are mountain high out there
But I am stuck in a musty room
Doing papers all the day

Tomorrow we go barbeque
We burn papers as firewood
It's like a riot on the grill
My griddle riot song

Time is always passing by
It never waits for me to chew
Never meant to be like this
But doing papers everyday

Tomorrow we go barbeque
We burn papers as firewood
It's like a riot on the grill
My griddle riot song
My griddle riot song

Time is always passing by
May not be the only way




I remember you
See you some time on the beach
