Lyrics: Extra Virgin - Fat Laces

appears on : Extra Virgin - 12 Stories High, Extra Virgin - First Cold Pressing

Rogers Stevens: guitars
Matt Flynn: drums
Pat Sansone: moog bass, keyboard

Where did I put my fat laces? 
Did I leave them on my ironing board?
I used to wear my ADIDAS threads
And dance on top of a card board box.
Tag my name on the stick ball wall,
Friday nights at the monster mall
Biting moves from the Cisco Kid, 
Sugar Hill and a Kangol lid.

But I never could break dance,
I never could do a windmill.

I used to try to do the electric boobaloo,
My boom box blasting the Get Fresh Crew.
My Fat Laces starched and tied loose,
The station on my radio was WKTU.

But I never ever could break dance,
I never could do a windmill.


Back in the days when my laces where fat 
I used to DJ at the Catholic school dance
spinning my way through the 80's and back.

Suburban rappers on the handball court,
The hair spray chicks all show there support.
Every body dressed like DMC
Smoking Marlboro Reds and wearing green Lee jeans.
Sitting on the back of a C.S.S.
Trying to Rhyme but getting tongue tied
They don't realize they're a year behind
As they follow the steps that the city boys climb.

But I never ever could break dance,
No, I never could do a windmill

So back in the days when my laces where fat
I used to DJ at the Catholic school dance 
spinning my way through the 80's and back.

And all the hair spray chicks started to sing
La la la la la la...
