[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
He pauses shaving and he tells himself
That he is the bomb
She has her curlers set
Her credit cards are paying the funds

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
He's not that old, I've been told a strong sexual goal
She goes out every day
She goes every way, oh yeah
They don't even care at all

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
She's open waiting for more
And I know he's only looking to score
And it is way too unhealthy
Often they've typically
Been starved for attention before

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
She smokes a dozen
And he doesn't seem to notice the smell
He took the seat off his own bike
Because the way that it felt

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
He wants to bone, this I know
She is ready to blow
They go out every night
His pants are super tight, oh yeah
They don't even care at all

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge, (Mark Hoppus)]
She's open waiting for more
(She's open waiting for more)
And I know he's only looking to score
(He's only looking to score)
And it is way too unhealthy
Often they've typically
Been starved for attention before

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
She's open waiting for more
And I know he's only looking to score
And it is way too unhealthy
Often they've typically
Been starved for attention before
Take off your pants!

[Speech]
Tom: We really love each other! We are the best of friends. Fuck Mark, Travis, you guys mean a lot to me man. You know what I mean? He needs some ointment. Hey I think every single pharmaceutical drug should be uh, in ointment form, and it can only go on your balls, you know? Like you've got a cold and you gotta rub ointment on your balls

​​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”.
