[volume gradually grows over raindrop background]
Chorus by Dido:
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering
why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all
be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
[full volume with beat right after "thunder" noise]

Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin
I left my cell,
my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was
a problem at the post office or somethin
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
but anyways; fuck
it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
If I have a daughter,
guess what I'ma call her?
I'ma name her Bonnie
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself
over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the
underground shit that you did with Skam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the shit you
did with Rawkus too, that shit was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
just to chat, truly yours, your
biggest fan
This is Stan

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have
a chance
I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your
concert
you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother man, he's only six
years old
We waited in the blistering cold for you,
four hours and you just said, "No."
That's pretty shitty man
- you're like his fuckin idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
I ain't that mad though,
I just don't like bein lied to
Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you
you would write back - see
I'm just like you in a way
I never knew my father neither;
he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate
to what you're saying in your songs
so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
cause I don't really got
shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut
myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See everything you say
is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know
you like I know you Slim, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up
You gotta call me
man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan
P.S. We should be together too

Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
this'll
be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
I know you got
my last two letters;
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm
in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
You know
the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
but
didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
Now
it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know
I ripped +ALL+ of your pictures off the wall
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it
now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
I
hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me
See Slim; [*screaming*] Shut up bitch! I'm tryin to talk!
Hey
Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
cause
if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh shit,
I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this shit out?
[*car tires squeal*] [*CRASH*]
.. [*brief silence*] .. [*LOUD splash*]

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your
girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
and here's
an autograph for your brother,
I wrote it on the Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed
you
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your
wrists too?
I say that shit just clownin dogg,
c'mon - how fucked up is you?
You got some issues Stan, I think
you need some counseling
to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
And what's this shit about
us meant to be together?
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend
need each other
or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches
you in time
before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire
you but Stan
why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some
crazy shit
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car
over a bridge
and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
and in the car they found a tape,
but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
Damn!
