hey Seattle
I come from Kansas City
we were on a roll
then the Tigers made it stop
and then you came along
and made it right
now the crabs came crawling
it's time for a fight
came from the gutter then got dropped in Mild High
right next to you in the standings fairly high
watched you keep winning while our numbers grew and grew
and I can't help but cheer now that the spotlight is on you
I stick to the minty fresh
but I'm getting closer to seeing the light
open your garages
we're all from Seattle tonight

I caught the game last night
it wasn't great
I watched my friends get buried by the Baltimore Crabs
not loving how it ended
but at least it got to occur
second place is never all that bad
say to myself and them "good luck"
but something doesn't fit right
where's the hug
like being trapped inside a shell
want to encourage luck next year
but as long as we're here
next year will be our year
next week will be our year
sorry you got pummeled deep - it happens
sorry you couldn't kill the gods - it happens
sorry you ran out of luck - it happens
sorry you'll have to deal with us - it happens

Everyone's Boyfriend

idol at the top of the list
worked their way up with a swing and a kiss
first in the lineup from blessings be gifted
to deserving one
gives us blood and comforting
then steals our hearts and home
everyone loves our Monreal
from the grass outside to the Dome (oh!)
fluttering hearts for Everyone's Boyfriend
stealing the world at the drop of a hat
everyone in Kansas City loves Our Boyfriend
but for everyone else, when the ball hits the bat
YOU BETTER RUN

it seemed like yesterday we were on top
when not a whole lot could stop us
until the fires claimed Our Boyfriend
and the Gods seemed to drop us
straight to the bottom and first in line
holding hands with the Magic
at least we're not in the pits alone
it makes the failure less tragic
we're gonna party forever
cause it feels like forever
