huffing the proverbial line off the proverbial dong - or - the blood and the frog in my throat Lyrics
you can dig what you don't understand, boy. Hell, sometimes it's all the only way. And the attictude's so fucking exciting, and the fashion of it's all the fucking rage. These are hammers on strings making notes, babe- with the blood and the frog in my throat. These are binders covered in bad poetry, now knowing what it's really all about.
Oh where, oh where... did you get that shit-eating grin that you wear?
And what, or who got you through the door?
You're a piece of meat on the killing floor.
These are closed and velvet ropes and a curtain-sipping cokes. To be certain, its's so slow that it's hurting. Don't you know...?
Take your chances in the killing fields with all the snakes and dogs. And dance 'til you bleed and bone touches steel and all your hope is gone.
And what, or who got you through the door?
You're a piece of meat on the killing floor.

oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, did you get that stupid, shit-eating grin that you wear?
So here's my guess: Brendan is flipping through his lyric journal and picking out seperate pieces he wrote. Dude calls up his homies, says "Guys! I got a bunch of cocaine! Get your equipment down here and let's bang this out!"
So, they all show up, do some mjnes and just start going at it.Neil feels the coke kick in and yells "WOOOOHOOOOO!" in the back. Brendan applies some of the lyrics he wrote, emphasizing vocals that sound cool rather than an actual coherent song, as well as coming up with some lines on the spot (these are closed and velvet ropes...) that may or may not be more relevant to the current situation at hand.
And that is literally what the song is about. Y'know, on an estimated guess.
Hey Chad.....Oh where, oh where... did you get that shit-eating grin that you wear?
