“In The Garage” is a song that tells the story of a loner who feels the most safe and secure in his garage surrounded by posters and figurines of his favorite board games, bands and comic-book characters, away from the judging eyes of his peers.
[Verse 1]
I've got a Dungeon Master's Guide, I've got a twelve sided die
I've got Kitty Pryde, and Nightcrawler too
Waiting there for me, yes I do, I do
[Verse 2]
I've got posters on the wall, my favorite rock group KISS
I've got Ace Frehley, I've got Peter Criss
Waiting there for me, yes I do, I do
[Chorus]
In the garage, I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage, where I belong
No one hears me sing this song

[Verse 3]

I write these stupid words, and I love every one
Waiting there for me, yes I do, I do
[Chorus]
In the garage, I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage, where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage, in the garage, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
In the garage, I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage, where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
[Outro]
In the garage, I feel safe
No one laughs about my ways
In the garage, where I belong
No one hears me, no one hears me
No one hears me, no one hears me
No one hears me sing this song
