Shippensberg Lyrics
You know what makes me happy
The things that make you sad
The feel that I controls absorbed by the radio jag
I found my indecision
The product of the media grime
The feel that I control have you press rewind
And now I'm on the wings
Hoping that you'll hear
Don't bother to respond
You love to hear me again
And when the sun beams down all of your lies
Close, close, yeah close the light
The sky's all grey in the barracks I know I'm a lousy hero
The classic act of feeling is that of a memory
And you are peering down through parascopic eyes
Close, close, yeah close (conscience)
I try to hide the fact that I'm afraid
We'll drive the band to Shippensberg and hope that we get played
And in the end of a season the voices turn it all off
The things that were so meaningless 'til the next one comes along
I try to hide the fact that I'm afraid
We'll drive the band to Shippensberg and hope that we get played
sweet song.
Shippensberg is a small town in PA. I can't remember what the song as a whole is about though.
i live ten minutes away from shippensberg, yes it is a small ass town in pa...anyway, this song means a lot to me, it's great.
when he sings And you are peering down through parascopic eyes Close, close, yeah close (conscience) the conscience part actually goes like this...(and taking time to expand my conscience)
Spikes a pimp. So is this song. heh. :)

Whats the deal with "shippensbam"? I heard Bam sings it altho ive never been able to get a hold of one where it sounds any different. Oh and my cell plays this when it rings its awesome i rock out everytime i get a call
man I saw em play the Galaxy in Dallas and I left after the show but they played this as an encore and I couldn't get back in, i'm so sad
Great great song, first time I heard it I didn't like it. But listened to it again and LOVED it.
Some of the song seems to be about dis-liking the media. And how it seems like the bad things in famous peoples lifes, are what most interests them("you know what makes me happy, the things that make you sad"). But I dunno about some parts of it though.
And what's a 'radio jag' ?
The song is about a band driving to Shippensberg to get on the radio. I think Deron said he didn't write the lyrics or something like that.
