Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On a Bad Bet

About Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On a Bad Bet

"Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet" is a song by the American rock band Fall Out Boy from their fourth studio album Folie à Deux (2008). It was initially released as a digital single as part of the buildup to the new album on iTunes on October 7, 2008. The song impacted United States modern rock radio on June 15, 2009. The title of the song refers to former Major League Baseball player Pete Rose, known for sliding headfirst into bases. Rose agreed never to work in baseball again due to an accused betting scandal while managing the Cincinnati Reds and will likely be kept out of the Hall of Fame, located in Cooperstown, New York, because of it. The band originally intended to name-drop Rose in the song's title. They changed their minds because of concerns about the lawsuit brought against OutKast over their 1999 single "Rosa Parks" by the civil rights activist, who was name-dropped in the title. "Headfirst" had the working title "Does Your Husband Know?"Chronologically, "What a Catch, Donnie" and "America's Suitehearts" were released to iTunes after "Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet". However, "Headfirst Slide..." was never serviced to radio as an official single, while the former two were later released as radio singles, albeit in vice versa order. more »

Mr. Sandman showing his beam
When he walks into the room
The walls lean in to listen
Surf out brain waves
Click back and forth like old headlights
Sniffing model glue again

Head like a steel trap
Wish I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't,
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I don't
Just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness.

Does your husband know the way that
The sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way to worship I know
Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night?

I will never end up like him
Behind my back, I already am.
Keep a calendar, this way
You will always know.

The last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through.
The last time you came through,
Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling

Tempest in a teacup,
Get unique.
Peroxide Princess shine like shark teeth
It's a sign, (it's a sign)
It's a sign, (it's a sign)
It's a sign, what if you peaked early.

Does your husband know the way that
The sunshine gleams from your wedding band?
Does he know the way, does he know the way
Of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night?

Does he, does he know the way to worship our love?
Does your husband know the way
That the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?

But, I will never end up like him.
Behind my back, I already am.
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know.

The last time you came through
Oh darling, I know what you're going through.
The last time you came through,
Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling

Does your husband know?
Does your husband know?
Does your husband know?

Does he know?
Does he know?
Does he know?

But, I will never end up like him.
Behind my back I already am.
Keep a calendar, this way you will always know.

Oh, the last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through.
Oh, the last time you came through,
Oh darling, I know what you're going through.
