Artie, The Strongest Man In the World Lyrics

Waking up, summer of 1993

Turning on the TV

Without a care in the world

And life was great

Nothing round me to complicate

Time had yet come to confiscate

All my hopes and dreams

And there was Artie

The strongest man in the world

You'll never understand

Artie, the strongest man in the world

Life's a mess

Everybody got you feeling stressed

Always feeling so depressed

It's a nightmare kind of dream

And life's a maze

Everybody round you feeling crazed

And Mr. Tastee has gone away

And he's taken all the ice cream

And there was Artie

The strongest man in the world

You'll never understand

Artie, the strongest man in the world

Artie

The strongest man in the world

He'll fight the ocean with his hands

Artie

The strongest man in the world

In the blink of an eye

You wake up and you're 35

Trapped inside your boring ass life

Wondering "how'd this happen to me?"

Yeah, waking up

Staring deep into your coffee cup

So damn close to giving up

Yeah, you just wanna scream

Because everything is Wellsville in my mind

And when I close my eyes

The tape rewinds

And I'm back in the summer of '93

And you're sitting there with me

And there was Artie

The strongest man in the world

You'll never understand

Artie, the strongest man in the world

Artie

The strongest man in the world

He'll fight the ocean with his hands

Artie

The strongest man in the world

Artie

The strongest man in the world

The strongest man in the world

The strongest man in the world

The strongest man in the world

The strongest man in the world
