Seeing Double at the Triple Rock Lyrics
Let's go!
It's 3 o'clock at the Triple Rock, another round of watching Paddy talk
It's where you wanna get snowed in when you get
Snowed in, outside it's 10 below, is it day or night, we don't care or know
What we know is that we don't wanna be
Anywhere but here, please don't make us leave
When in Minnesota and you got a drinking quota
I'm seeing double at the Triple Rock, we're still here watching Paddy talk
Then undress, then get out the duct tape
The one question still remains, how much more art can we take?
I'll let you know when the medication wears off
I'm a religious drunk and this is where I pray
The church of alcoholics can't break up the congregation
Give us air to breathe, through carbonation
We are at liquor church, genuflecting on barstools
We're praying that the taps will keep the holy water flowing
Key kicks of communion, then a long night of confessions
Coming home after noon seems to raise a lot of questions
When in Minnesota and you got a drinking quota
It's where you wanna get snowed in when you get
Snowed in, outside it's 10 below, is it day or night, we don't care or know
What we know is that we don't wanna be
Anywhere but here, please don't make us leave
When in Minnesota and you got a drinking quota
Then undress, then get out the duct tape
The one question still remains, how much more art can we take?
I'll let you know when the medication wears off
The church of alcoholics can't break up the congregation
Give us air to breathe, through carbonation
We are at liquor church, genuflecting on barstools
We're praying that the taps will keep the holy water flowing
Key kicks of communion, then a long night of confessions
Coming home after noon seems to raise a lot of questions
When in Minnesota and you got a drinking quota

Obviously a song about the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis. The 'Paddy' referenced in the song is Patrick Costello, lead singer of Dillinger Four and part-owner(?) of the T-Rock.
The 'How Much Art Can You Take?' line is a reference to a tattoo that Paddy has on his chest. He has a big script on his chest that says 'How Much Art Can You Take?"
"It's about Drink and Drugs and religion"
I don't think it's so much about religion as it is that he started using religion as a metaphor for drinking. "I'm a religious drunk/and this is where I pray." "Keep the holy water flowing" is more about "keep the drinks coming" than it is blessing someone. And "The church of alcoholics/can't break up the congregation" is about how they're not changing their lifestyle anytime soon. "a long night of confessions" is about how much freer most people get when influenced by alcohol--often giving away secrets they wouldn't otherwise.
Anyway, I really love the song for that verse, I love the use of metaphors in it.
Also, I could imagine somebody parodying the song as "Seeing Triple at the Doubletree," haha.
this song is about getting fucked up at a club in twin cities(st. paul/ minneapolis). simple.
this song is about being DRIZZunk at the triple rock, which is a great venue in minneapolis! wooo! PADDY IS THE GENIUS FROM DILLINGER FOUR!
SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!1111111111
sweet. i just heard this song two days ago and thank sweet holy fuck. ive been waiting for some new nofx.
i agree, this is about a club in minneapolis and how fun it is to get drunk. "give us air to breathe, through carbonation" cool line.
a lot of these lyrics are wrong so I will paste the correct ones here:
