Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We had no money, no plan, no map,
Just a RadioShack mic and a couch with a gap.
Frank rolled in like a storm with a pen,
Said, “This one’s about love… or the government again.”

My room was a jungle of wires and tape,
Where dreams and disaster would often escape.
The Spider Loft creaked, and the ceiling moaned—
But in that noise, we found our home.

[Chorus]
Oh, the songs we shouldn’t have written,
The lines we stole and the rules we smitten.
Frank said “mutate,” and so we did—
Two young fools with a holy bid.
And if the world never hears our sound—
That loft still spins when I’m feelin’ down.

[Verse 2]
One day Frank’s voice turned to sand and smoke,
He croaked out, “Honey, or this song’s a joke.”
I sent him down the hall with a crooked grin,
Said, “Check the kitchen, might be some in the tin.”

Didn’t take long for the legend to rise—
Mama caught him diggin’ with scandalized eyes.
Now it’s gospel at every family feast:
“The Honey Raid of ‘99” gets released.

[Chorus]
Oh, the songs we shouldn’t have written,
The harmonies that left the cat sittin’.
We broke rules and amps and hearts,
Played like we were gods of the shopping carts.
And if the charts forgot our names—
We still lit fires with no shame.

[Bridge]
Frank was the kind that could bend a phrase
’Til it wept or laughed or danced in a daze.
I kept time with a busted clock,
And we tuned our pain like a thunder shock.

Some call it noise, some call it youth,
But we bled those tracks for a bit of truth.
Now I play them back through hiss and hum—
Still can’t believe what we’d become.

[Final Chorus]
Oh, the songs we shouldn’t have written,
But thank God we did, and thank God we’re smitten
With that time, that place, that sacred mess—
The Spider Loft and all its blessed unrest.
And if this world forgets the sound—
We sang it once. It still goes ’round.

[Outro]
So here’s to the honey and the hunger and the floor,
To Frank in the cabinet, lookin’ for more.
To the loft, the noise, the holy climb—
To the songs we wrote…
That still rhyme with time.
