The Longest Line​​blink-182

Songwriter: Fat Mike

[Verse]
In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light
Not just a headlight
Like the one that's headed right for me
It would be nice if things would turn out right
Turn out right yeah
Don't think I'll ever see the day
I must have done something wrong
Or maybe pissed off God
I think of Chinese food when I think of life
That's sweet and sour
My life is sweet as saccharine
You know three week old milk and grapes are not, they're not the same, no
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen
I must have fucked with some witch
In turn she cursed me, cursed my life
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to the end of the longest line
But officer that was a yellow light
The light was red, son
Insubordination, reckless driving
I must be wrong, this can't be right
I don't belong, this world is much too dangerous
For someone lacking luck, like me

[Outro]
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to the end of the longest line
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
At the end of the longest line

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
