Description
Available on Verizon, itunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, this song is the true story of a has-been WWF wrestler with a major drug problem who lived across the street from us for about a year and made the surrounding neighbors insane with his never ending antics. Amongst other things, when his wife filed for divorce, he climbed up onto the overpass bridge on the I-10 freeway in Phoenix threatening to jump off into the rush hour traffic.
Lyrics
What a strange party I went to last night Nary a soul you couldn't get in a fight A birthday wife with a no show man A lone guitarist with a no show band. I don't know what's going on But I smell something blowin' strong On the ropes The ropes Host dude was bangin' on my door all week Saying how I'm in for a special treat It turned out more like a rotten trick Now the whole neighborhood knows you're a first class *%ick I don't care what's going on Just another bad day for old King Kong On the ropes The ropes King Kong's hangin' off the I-10 bridge Fakin' it like he don't wanna live But that won't keep no marriage alive Cause no one cares if you take a dive Jump! Now you know what's going on Just another bad day for has been King Kong On the ropes The ropes The Rope, Rope Ropes
