Lyrics for Story - Columbus - 06/28/08

Okay, alright, okay Oh, it's gonna be like that, huh? Okay, alright, love you too, baby Oh, oh, I, I knew if I stopped talking, you would start That's why I, that's why I, I'm compelled to continue here, uh, okay I, I went on, I, I, I, I, I, I, uh, I went on eBay I shouldn't have gone on eBay, I was warned about eBay I didn't even know what the fuck eBay Was, uh, but I was warned about it They said, "Stay away from eBay," and, uh Especially if you've got money in your pocket And, um, I had both, I was on eBay and I had money in my pocket And I made a big mistake Well, I don't think it was a mistake, I was told I made a big mistake See how easy I am, and I, that's why I'm gonna run it by you I made a purchase, okay, so what? I made a purchase and it was my money and I spent it, okay Um, now you be the judge I bought, swear, the last dying breath of Henry Ford Wait a minute, it was trapped in a Coke bottle with a cork in it Really tight in there And, uh, I, I probably paid more than I should've for it But when you think about it, it's a first edition, you know? I mean, there's, uh, there's only one of 'em And, uh, okay, let's, uh, get to something else Uh, uh, what's the first thing we were gonna do here? Oh, oh, I guess, oh, maybe a little rant Ooh, oh, no, that's not it, I'll stick a different one Oh, hell, they all start like that
