Grant Park Lyrics
Go and take a ride to her shop in grant park
You can walk through the door and shove the knife in her heart
When you tell her that you can't stand the song anymore
The one you two adopted on the prom dance floor
You can be a Tom Cruise and make a big scene
Or be like MacGyver and cut it clean
Either way there's gonna be blood on the floor when you tell her that you don't dig girls anymore
Chorus:
Anymore (I can't believe it)
Here's a funny story 'bout a singer named Jed
He caught his girlfriend with a woman in bed
They were watching Loveline with a bottle of wine
Having a party like it's 1999
So he threw down the movies and he had a heart attack
He jumped in the ocean and never swam back
They just stood there naked, except for their socks
Feeling cheaper than a prize in a Cracker Jack box
I don't think Jed's really gonna wanna rock anymore
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Check the exposure, something's wrong with this picture
I can't see the truth for all of the dirty lines
Check the exposure something's wrong with this pictures
All in all you're gonna lose your mind
There's a little story that you're gonna adore
Kinda like the lost scene on the cutting room floor
It's all fun and games 'til you get a black eye
You're down in the sewer asking all the rat, "why?"
You can live and love and lie and cheat if you wish
But you know, that's about as tacky as a satellite dish
On a hot pink house with a burgundy door
With cigarette butts all over the floor
I don't think my stomach's gonna take anymore
(Chorus)
You can walk through the door and shove the knife in her heart
When you tell her that you can't stand the song anymore
The one you two adopted on the prom dance floor
You can be a Tom Cruise and make a big scene
Or be like MacGyver and cut it clean
Either way there's gonna be blood on the floor when you tell her that you don't dig girls anymore
Anymore (I can't believe it)
He caught his girlfriend with a woman in bed
They were watching Loveline with a bottle of wine
Having a party like it's 1999
So he threw down the movies and he had a heart attack
He jumped in the ocean and never swam back
They just stood there naked, except for their socks
Feeling cheaper than a prize in a Cracker Jack box
I don't think Jed's really gonna wanna rock anymore
Check the exposure, something's wrong with this picture
I can't see the truth for all of the dirty lines
Check the exposure something's wrong with this pictures
All in all you're gonna lose your mind
Kinda like the lost scene on the cutting room floor
It's all fun and games 'til you get a black eye
You're down in the sewer asking all the rat, "why?"

On a hot pink house with a burgundy door
With cigarette butts all over the floor
I don't think my stomach's gonna take anymore

A guy coming out?
Butch loves sex. If listening to all his records taught me anything, it's that. So a song about homo/bi-sexuality is no shocker. In fact, he's even focused on the challenge of coming out while in a hetero relationship (verse 1) or just satisfying those needs behind your partner's back (verse 2). While verse 3 sums it up nicely while just saying that there's a time and place for sex, and too much of a good thing can take the meaning out of it.
Of course, the big guitar-driven beat over these verses suggest that I started reading into the lines too far when I stopped dancing and started writing this. Plus any chorus that functions on one word deserves some kind of props.
Also, check the video out if you get a chance, made by the band independently of their label. It anticipates the YouTube music video phenomenon by a good five years.
