Wanna tell you story, my fairweather folks
About Halloween '14 down on 42nd street
Bands were HOT they were alive
But 2 came along
My feet they hit the street and that's where, that's where
They found me face down on Oleander Drive
They thought that I was dead, but I, I'm still alive
They found me face down on Oleander Drive
They thought that I was dead, but I, I'm still alive
Clock was striking 2—I needed to leave
To get the beer that I need, hit the Handee Hugo
To get my, my gasoline
Well there's a buddy and a party out expectin me
Well my feet they hit the street but I'm not gonna make it there
They found me face down on Oleander Drive
They thought that I was dead, but I, I'm still alive
They found me face down on Oleander Drive
They thought that I was dead, but I, I'm still alive
Well the cops shut down the whole damn road
With traffic waiting, waiting, waiting to go
They asked me who I was and where I'd been
And started calling up my last known friends
Well a cabby pulled up and he tried to smooth on by
They said "hey man, this guy over here needs a ride"
So they put me in, and said, "Now don't let him steer."
And then they said, "Hey man, hey—Don't you want your beer?"
They found me face down on Oleander Drive
They thought that I was dead, but I, I'm still alive
They found me face down on Oleander Drive
They thought that I was dead, but I, I'm still alive
