I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And my hom-- and my homies all singin' to it,
3oh...3oh!3,

I ain't callin' for a close-up,
No clubs, no cars, bitches with the nose jobs,
No dubs, no stars,
I'm 'a do it how I always have;
Whiskey and a 40-pack,
Pissin' in the alleyway out back where the party's at,
I'm 'a spend it on a new whip, new hat, new kicks,
Bitches with the huge tits, new gat, new slips,
I'm 'a do it how I always do;
Sleep until the break of noon,
Wakin' just to make it through another night of shakin' you

I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,

I ain't signin' on a new lease,
No cooks, no keys,
Models with the nose bleeds,
White lace, gold beads,
I'm 'a run it like a marathon;
Party 'til I'm 50,
Wake up on my parent's
Them cops still out to get me,
And I ain't sippin' on a mixed drink, pinkie out, lips pink,
Talkin' to a rich skank filled up like a sperm bank,
I'm 'a go where I always go;
Drinks are on the house,
Whiskey's on the rocks while your sister's on my mouth,

I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go

And if I was a rich man,
I'd never been to sea,
Could I take you anyways,
Would you come with me, baby?
And if I was a sick man,
I'd never meant to be,
Would you love me anyways,
And would you marry me?

I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,

    200 seconds is the length of the song. That's my fanstastic input.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
