Joey Ramone Says

Well that was Dee Dee
he was the Pet Sematary writer
but first about me
I did not have a parasitic twin
growing out of my back
at birth oh no
and Phil Spector had the wig on
guns all over the place but
he did not hold us hostage
working on our album
producing End of the Century 
and Frank Zappa was a hero
I wrote Censorshit
to fuck with Congress
the parental advisory labels crap 
and we loved Florida
Halloween night in Gainesville
Too Tough to Die tour
snake handling in the Panhandle 
We loved the Stooges
Couldn’t get enough 
of their I Wanna 
I Wanna Live
I Wanna Be Sedated 
I Wanna Be Well 
I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
but Dee Dee wrote Pet Sematary 
after reading the book
We shot the video in a famous
cemetery in upstate New York
scary havin to be buried alive
a few times and I remember
feeling it was kinda sacrilegious
cause the equipment truck
caught fire on the highway
after the shoot and all our gear 
melted all over the road
but we’re a happy family
