lyrics

The bodies cover the floor
They're sipping their first beer, they're just getting started
It's a Saturday night in July, it's hot as hell and I'm haywire
We're in the basement of a hotel, hidden where the people can't see
We're the opening act, and we go on in three

The headline band have come from out of town
Four Ks in Kerrang for their last EP
And The Early November gave them a shout out on stage
More quotes for the posters, more fuel for the flames
They've brought a guitar tech, I think he's their friend
They've got coke in the van, they're down for the weekend
We're the opening act, and we're better than them

I wrap the microphone cable around my fist
Black stamp on the back of my hand
I look down at my feet for the setlist
And I don't think anyone's paying attention, so we better make them start paying attention
Turn to the drummer, say go heavy on the double-chain drive
We're the opening act, yeah, we're the best band alive

And the next thirty minutes went by in a blur
Sweat clung to the walls like they were bleeding
One foot on the wedge, feel the monitor roar
Open up the pit!
We're the opening act, and we're killing it

And the bodies are hitting the floor
Fists swings in great lurching arcs
We finish our song, they're screaming for more
Couple kids ask for autographs
It's a Saturday night in July, it's hot as hell and I'm haywire
We're in the basement of a hotel, where our story begins,
We're the opening act, and we'll see you again
