I fell victim to alternative
And as I lost my future I was listening and digging it
Here was the answer to boring rhymes
Darker melodies some people angry and they hated it
Then the fossil had to go and die
Staley had the chops and rhythm right

No ordinary songs
'Cause you did you broke the chains
And now you're so far gone
But what you sang it still remains…yeah

This may come as some surprise
But my taste in music is eclectic and diversified
I love it heavy when overtones collide,
I love it easy when I fill her up so deep inside
How I miss the fossil that has died
Layne he had the rhythm down so right

No ordinary songs
'Cause you did you broke the chains
And now you're so far gone
But what you sang it still remains…yeah

Then the fossil had to go and die

No ordinary songs
'Cause you did you broke the chains
And now you're so far gone
But what you sang it still remains…
What took you so Goddamn long
Before you put an end put an end to any new songs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
