Back Stage Passes

[girl] Don't I know you?

[guy] Do you?

[girl] Well ahh.. I'm Laurie Kessler, haven't we met before?

[guy] Have we?

[girl] Maybe not

[Kool Keith]

Back stage! ..

See girl after the show I'm not to be idolized

Overwhelmed by a new obsessed fan

No I don't wanna answer your questions

Are you some kind of journalist, follow me around?

Come on in the bathroom

Now you wanna see how Keith acts at home

Call your girlfriends

Now you wanna see the way I P-I-S-S

Beggin me to get a magic marker to sign my name on your back

You're very young, and giggly with pre-washed Levi's on

You don't know how to act - let's party, how about it?

I don't wanna party drink Bacardi what you think I look like;

the purple dragon Barney?

[Chorus]

Back stage! You're excited.. back stage passes!

You're excited, girls lookin all around

Back stage! You're excited.. back stage passes!

You're excited, stop lookin all around

Back stage! You're excited..

[Kool Keith]

I'm totally attracted to you, but you turn me off as a fan

Approachin me back stage with a guy that's not your friend

Lyin to get a laminate - is that your man?

Some weird guy starin at me like Peter Pan

There's no time to talk about how I got started in rap

I'm goin straight home

You don't know, I'ma leave you alone

Why should I waste my time, get no sleep?

I just got off stage, you're still complainin

You shoulda stayed on stage longer at the New Orleans Superdome

What you want from me? You took my picture;

you got my autograph - I'm not tryin to crack any more Coronas

I hate the smell of beadies

and you have a bunch of dinky friends, and a adolescent staff

You are immature

[Chorus]

Back stage! You're excited.. back stage passes!

You're excited, girls lookin all around

Back stage! You're excited..

[Kool Keith]

Laugh at yourself, put your whole world on the shelf

Do that stupid stuff with Weird Al Yankovich

Go try to figure out somebody else

First of all, you're living through my CD

Second you don't know me

Base your life on fan magazines I go shoppin everyday

When I'm in a small boring city you don't see me

If I told you I had eighteen hands

you're so tuned and tweaked out, your ass would believe me

[Chorus]

Back stage passes!

You're excited, girls lookin all around

Back stage! You're excited.. back stage passes!

You're excited, girls lookin all around

Back stage! You're excited..
