[BPM: 110] [Verse 1] Doug had a duplex on the west side of Salt Lake, A simple place with a front door and a back gate, Near a 7-Eleven, a nice place to meet, Whenever you wanted a Big Bite or a frozen treat. [Verse 2] Doug lived on his side, rented the other to Mary, Her friends would come over, and they could get rowdy, They'd hang in the backyard, laughing 'til late, Drinking, and sometimes fighting, by the fence and the gate. [Chorus] That was back in '96, when a switch got flipped, My heart skipped a beat, and my soul just tipped. A hunch about visual stories, a feeling that stirred, And I've been following that feeling wherever it goes. [Verse 3] One night I was over, saw them in the back, And on a whim, I asked to take a picture, I thought they'd say no, but they busted out poses, Like they were born for it, they were just supposed to. [Chorus] That was back in '96, when a switch got flipped, My heart skipped a beat, and my soul just tipped. A hunch about visual stories, a feeling that stirred, And I've been following that feeling wherever it goes. [Outro] Yeah, a little pilot light, shining ever so bright. I’ve been following it ever since.
