By the Way lyrics

Standing in line to see the show tonight

And there's a light on

Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say I'd be there

Waiting for...

Dani the girl is singing songs to me

Beneath the marquee

Overload

Steak knife

Card Shark

Con job

Boot cut

Skin that flick, she's such a little DJ

Get there quick by street but not the freeway

Turn that trick to make a little leeway

Beat that nick, but not the way that we play

Dog town

Blood bath

Rib cage

Soft tail

Standing in line to see the show tonight

And there's a light on

Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say I'd be there

Waiting for...

Black jack

Dope dick

Pawn shop

Quick pick

Kiss that dyke, I know you want to hold one

Not on strike, but I'm about to bowl one

Bite that mike, I know you never stole one

Girls that like a story so I told one

Song bird

Main line

Cash back

Hard top

Standing in line to see the show tonight

And there's a light on

Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say I'd be there

Waiting for...

Dani the girl is singing songs to me

Beneath the marquee

Of her soul

By the way I tried to say I'd be there

Waiting for...

Ooh ah, guess you never meant it (x7)

Standing in line to see the show tonight

And there's a light on

Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say I'd be there

Waiting for...

Dani the girl is singing songs to me

Beneath the marquee

Of her soul

By the way I tried to say I know you

From before

Standing in line to see the show tonight

And there's a light on

Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say I'd be there

Waiting for...
