lyrics
i met a girl in the bahamas
couldn't catch her name through her accent
so I just called her Lacey
cuz she sold my friend some janky-ass shoes
she wore dark sunglasses
and a jogger's stopwatch on her left wrist
i told her i'm in a pop band
and she don't give a shit
i guess i'm singing alone
i followed her back to a starbucks
i can't believe it's in a place like this
did my wizard impression
it got a laugh so i sang her a surefire hit
"that's me in the corner
that's me in the spotlight
losing my religion"
she left me singing alone
and what happened
i thought that all bands were dope
but in the bahamas
they don't
i guess i'm singing alone
i stormed my way back through the shipyard
picked up some pot from a ten year-old kid
didn't get to smoke my friends out though
cuz a sea cop caught me with it
now i'm stuck in a jail cell
tryna tell them i'm famous
i'm the bassist of the miracals
they think i'm daniel radcliff
and what happened
i thought that all bands were dope
but in the bahamas
they don't
i guess i'm singing alone
couldn't catch her name through her accent
so I just called her Lacey
cuz she sold my friend some janky-ass shoes
she wore dark sunglasses
and a jogger's stopwatch on her left wrist
i told her i'm in a pop band
and she don't give a shit
i guess i'm singing alone
i followed her back to a starbucks
i can't believe it's in a place like this
did my wizard impression
it got a laugh so i sang her a surefire hit
"that's me in the corner
that's me in the spotlight
losing my religion"
she left me singing alone
and what happened
i thought that all bands were dope
but in the bahamas
they don't
i guess i'm singing alone
i stormed my way back through the shipyard
picked up some pot from a ten year-old kid
didn't get to smoke my friends out though
cuz a sea cop caught me with it
now i'm stuck in a jail cell
tryna tell them i'm famous
i'm the bassist of the miracals
they think i'm daniel radcliff
and what happened
i thought that all bands were dope
but in the bahamas
they don't
i guess i'm singing alone
