Matthew Lyrics - Tarpits And Canyon Lands - Bombadil

playing checkers in the greatest hall 

made math and science school a little less not fun at all 

studying all night for Dr. Kish's quiz 

at least you never caught Yersinia pestis 

LAN parties after lights out 

some got mad when we competed for the longest shout 

Suspended for a week when i propped a door 

so we drove to Shawnee to get some tips from Rushmore 

it was looking pretty bleak - would they let us stay? 

But did we really want imprisonment anyway? 

Still, I'm pretty glad they let us back in 

You were a pretty shoddy roommate but I'd do it again 

Don't ever take for granted what you're given 

Mathew when they found you they had found you finding Jesus as well 

the poison had caught you in its spell 

did nobody bother you to tell 

the Catholics would banish you to ... 

well they should know that you're in 

a better part of hell 

Making fun of Tyler and Aaron for being so fat 

and how Laura was such a brat 

double-cut punch right across the chin 

boxing during study time once and again 

and with a couple old foils we'd find and then 

party in the dark to Aphex Twin 

Always kind of an ass, always making us laugh 

i used to like looking into the past 

now you're out of line, now you're out of time 

forever asshole 

did you really think you had it the worst of all? 

you had everything you ever needed 

except another head a little less conceited 

forget about the ones that once you needed 

Matthew when they found you they had found you finding Jesus as well 

the poison had caught you in its spell 

did nobody bother you to tell 

the Catholics would banish you to 

well they should know that you're in 

a better part of hell 

than the darkness whence you fell before 

Matt when they found you they had found that you'd found Christ where 

you lay 

he gave you the strength to live, they say. 

i think he gave you the strength to pass away 

he made you believe it was okay 

to produce all the pain and blame 

anchors away! 

five hundred yesterdays 

before you took your breath away. 

not a lot to say 

nothing much to do 

there is a part of you 

in every of the ones you knew 

one of whom forever blue 

i only wish you knew 

that the gun that failed to fire beforehand 

tried to tell you nothing new
