lyrics

My name is Steven.
Steven Ramey.
I was a singer 'till 1987.
I never even heard them play me.
Such a dreamer.
I had maybe 10 real fans.

There's a baby named after me.
And now this song is named after he.
You'll catch on eventually.

Steven Ramey, yeah yeah yeah.

My name is Steven.
Steven Ramey.
And I was born in 1987.
My dad's a heathen so he made me into his idol.
With what he named me, anyway.

There's a baby named after he.
And now this song is named after me.
You'll catch on eventually.

Steven Ramey, yeah yeah yeah.

How many people passed on me?
(Can I be what they conceived?)
And what will it take to set me free?

Maybe our legacy Is that a song is named after we
And we'll catch on eventually.
