i think he's gonna choke
when he steps up to the plate
i think he's gonna lay face down
when the Magic put him in his place
but then the Blood Drain gurgled (yeah)
and the world went quiet (yeah)
and his arms felt different (yeah)
and the Lang Gang came alive:
"yeah! he's better than he was now!
yeah! he's got Yeong-Ho's better blood now!
yeah! he's gonna take it to the blood bank!
yeah! he's gonna show the league his new strength!"
and then the Blood Drain gurgled (yeah)
and he took his little sippy (yeah)
but it tastes so dirty (yeah)
yeah the Blood Drain killed his vibe

thought we’d maximized blaseball, prepared for a grand slam
heard the umpires scream while the void burst from its dam
but our celebration was cut brief
turns out necromancy isn’t cheap
now we’re left worried we’ll lose players while we’re asleep
there’s no rules we can know for sure
the book’s still unclear
there’s no sure way forward here
the ground is shaking under us
we’re feeling unstable
guess that happens when players don’t stay null
now we live in a hell of our own creation
our mayor is beaming more than hendricks richardson
so we messed around and blasphemed a bit
now the internet league‘s all scared of getting hit
could have used a financial advisor before this debt
there’s no rules we can know for sure
the book’s still unclear
there’s no sure way forward here
the ground is shaking under us
we’re feeling unstable
guess that happens when players don’t stay null
every game now has us bracing
for the day’s incineration
will this virus keep erasing
our brightest
no one said that resurrection would mean
that the dead would come back hungry
once they’ve fed we’ve lost too many
but they’re all credits to their teams
but there’s no rules we can know for sure
the book’s still unclear
there’s no sure way forward here
the ground is shaking under us
we’re feeling unstable
guess that happens when players don’t null

you think i'm easy, don't you?
it's just as simple as that
you give me what i want and
i leave you alone for life
but that's not how it works
i won't be bought, i can't be bribed
you should come over some time
and i'll cut out your eyes
i don't want your blessings
i want you to shove them, shove them, yeah
i don't want your blessings
i want you to shove them, shove them, yeah
i think it's time you witnessed
the end to all your means
if i can't make it easy
i'll make sure the knife is clean
you stand so tall and mighty
up there with all the gods
but if you wanna dance
then i am willing to break it down
i don't want your blessings
i want you to shove them, shove them, yeah
i don't want your blessings
i want you to shove them, shove them, yeah
it's a pathetic gesture
a spineless kind of nod
you're just a wooden idol
a counterfeited god
i can look you in the eyes
and i won't turn to stone
cause when we stand together
that means you'll die alone
i don't want your blessings
i want you to shove them, shove them, yeah
i don't want your blessings
i want you to shove them, shove them, yeah

At the table in the corner sits a man beside himself
Wondering how he got here and if it's worth it in the end
The diamond calls, haunting every waking hour of his life
Ever since he took that step to become a credit to the team
But he knows, it's all gone, even though his glove still fits so well
This blaseball fantasy, has it always just been a dream?
Stay gold - Mikeyboy
You left a cleatprint in our hearts
Stay gold - Mikeyboy
You deserve a retirement arc
He crossed the void, brought Jaylen back and just knew he had to leave
He went where noone went before and shamed the gods right off their throne
Our shameful pitcher became our savior and now he deserves to rest
No more peanuts, no more birds
He's finally home
Stay gold - Mikeyboy
You left a cleatprint in our hearts
Stay gold - Mikeyboy
You deserve a retirement arc

Oh the rites are sealed
The pentagram's been drawn
We've got her in our sights now
Idolatry's gone too far
Who cares about the finals?
My mind's set on one thing
Necromancy's a stretch for some
But not this band!
Jaylen come back to us!
Jaylen come back to us!
Jaylen, let's spite the gods!
Jaylen let's give it a shot!
Jaylen will spite the gods!
Jaylen we'll give it our all!

From Seattle there’s a team in a baseball league
Garages are their name and they’re here to cause a scene
Bound together by the music inside
A rag-tag crew, but all gods should run and hide
Do you hear them coming?
Hear the bass drum thumpin’
They’ll park it on the field in the name of Jaylen
Forget about the gods, our music does the savin’
Know you hear them coming
Those guitar riffs? Stunnin’
We got Townsend, Clark, and Spliff no there ain’t no jokin’
Garages on the field, on some peanuts you’ll be choking, oh
Jaylen Hotdogfingers, why were you taken from us so soon
Forbidden book opens right on up, then we were betrayed by the moon
But this time, we write our own fate
Play into the void, hear your long lost team
The one who slipped through our fingers
Will we win her back on lottery?
Garages, Garages, our time has yet to come, but
Garages, Garages, I know this season’s the one
Do you hear them coming?
Yes our hearts keep pumpin’
I cannot lie, yes I know we’re the one
We won't stop jammin’ ‘till we kill the sun
Know you hear them coming
We won't stop runnin’
We park it on the field in the name of Jaylen
Look out gods, soon you’ll need saving, oh

back for good

I guess now it's time for me to give up
I feel it's time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
I want you back for good
Unaware but underlined I figured out this story
It wasn't good
But in the corner of my mind
I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
Can't you find
A little room inside for me
And we'll be together, this time is forever
We'll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again
