[05:00][03:13][01:37][00:25][00:01]My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
[05:04][03:16][01:40][00:28][00:04]got out of bed at all
[05:07][03:19][01:43][00:31][00:07]The morning rain clouds up my window..
[05:10][03:22][01:46][00:34][00:10]and I can't see at all
[05:12][03:24][01:48][00:37][00:13]And even if I could it'll all be gray,
[05:16][03:28][01:52][00:40][00:16]but your picture on my wall
[05:18][03:30][01:54][00:43][00:19]It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
[05:22][03:34][01:58][00:46][00:23]it's not so bad..

[00:48]Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin
[00:51]I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
[00:54]I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
[00:57]There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin
[01:00]Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
[01:03]but anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
[01:06]My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
[01:09]If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
[01:11]I'ma name her Bonnie
[01:12]I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
[01:15]I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
[01:18]I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
[01:21]I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
[01:25]I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
[01:27]I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was fat
[01:30]Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
[01:33]just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
[01:35]This is Stan
{Chorus: Dido}
[Eminem as 'Stan']
[01:59]Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
[02:03]I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans
[02:06]If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
[02:09]you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
[02:12]That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
[02:15]We waited in the blistering cold for you,
[02:16]four hours and you just said, "No."
[02:18]That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fuckin idol
[02:21]He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
[02:24]I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein lied to
[02:27]Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you
[02:30]you would write back - see I'm just like you in a way
[02:33]I never knew my father neither;
[02:34]he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
[02:36]I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
[02:39]so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
[02:42]cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
[02:45]I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
[02:48]Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
[02:51]It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
[02:54]See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
[02:57]My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
[03:00]But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
[03:03]She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up
[03:06]You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
[03:09]Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S.
[03:11]We should be together too
{Chorus: Dido}
[Eminem as 'Stan']
[03:36]Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
[03:39]this'll be the last package I ever send your ass
[03:42]It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
[03:45]I know you got my last two letters;
[03:46]I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
[03:48]So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
[03:51]I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
[03:54]Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
[03:57]You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
[04:00]about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
[04:03]but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
[04:06]That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
[04:09]Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
[04:12]and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
[04:15]I hope you know I ripped +ALL+ of your pictures off the wall
[04:18]I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
[04:21]You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
[04:25]And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
[04:27]I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me
[04:30]See Slim; {*screaming*} Shut up bitch! I'm tryin to talk!
[04:33]Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
[04:36]but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
[04:39]cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
[04:42]Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
[04:45]Oh shit, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this shit out?
{*car tires squeal*} {*CRASH*}
.. {*brief silence*} .. {*LOUD splash*}
{Chorus: Dido}

[05:24]Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
[05:27]You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
[05:30]Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
[05:33]and here's an autograph for your brother,
[05:35]I wrote it on the Starter cap
[05:36]I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
[05:39]Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
[05:42]But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
[05:45]I say that shit just clownin dogg,
[05:47]c'mon - how fucked up is you?
[05:48]You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
[05:51]to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
[05:54]And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
[05:57]That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
[06:00]I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
[06:03]or maybe you just need to treat her better
[06:05]I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
[06:09]before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
[06:12]if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
[06:15]why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
[06:18]I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
[06:21]I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
[06:24]Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
[06:27]and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
[06:30]and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
[06:33]Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
[06:36]Damn!
