Five Iron Frenzy - Blue Comb '78 (live) lyrics

[Reese] You know, guys, I know what it's like to be at the rock and roll concerts. You go, you might be a little bit lonely, you might look to your right or left and maybe you see this - I just drooled on myself - a beautiful young lady. And you're saying to yourself: "If only they would play a slow song so that I might take that young lady in my arms and slow dance with her as if the night would never end." Well my friends, now is your chance! Take that girl in your arms and slow dance like there's no tomorrow! This is all fake! [Verse 1] Summer of 1978 My sister and I in the back seat just wait We pa** the time by making lines on the seat that we can't cross A thin line like dental floss [Chorus] She threw my new blue comb out the window, somewhere on I-70 Dad said, "I'm sorry, but we can't go back," We're never going back to get it It was the first comb I ever had Got it just that morning from my mom and my dad Light blue in color, I could never find another Comb like that, big and fat So tell me, have you seen my comb? Last time I saw it, it was in her hands And then it was bouncing down the road It wasn't fancy, it wasn't brown But now it might be from lying on the ground So tell me, have you seen my comb? [Verse 2] Driving down the road in September I was only five but I still remember Where the highway turns at the bottom of the hill My parents both up front 'cause they loved each other still An ordinary comb made of plastic Or an action of a sibling lacking couth It wasn't just a comb that was thrown out that window Was the last great symbol of my youth [Chorus] Have you seen my comb? Last time I saw it, it was in her hands And then it was bouncing down the road It wasn't fancy, it wasn't brown But now it might be from lying on the ground So tell me, have you seen my comb? [Dennis] Thanks a lot you guys. Thank you for coming out. We've had a lot of fun tonight. Seriously, thank you guys for coming out [Reese] This is our last song and it's a, it's a prayer. I say this, like, every night but I mean it. Um, this is something that I have to, I have to pray myself every day. Cause, uh, I don't know, I just think that this, the purpose of this world is, like, is not to, not so you get all the, all the cool houses and toys and cars and stuff that you want. It's pretty much just to make you realize how, how much of a jerk you are and how much you need God. And, uh, this song is about how when you're at the bottom and you realize that you're the biggest jerk in the world, you need God to carry you and he loves you enough to look past how big a jerk you are and carry you. It's called "Every New Day."
