  • 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
    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

    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

    I've got an electric guitar
    I play my stupid songs
    I write these stupid words
    And I love every one
    Waiting there for me
    Yes, I do, I do

    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 (rock!)

    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
    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 Writer/s: Rivers Cuomo

  • Zero from The Abyss, NjThis song reminds me (lyrically, not musically) of "Joe's Garage" by Frank Zappa.
  • Raunchy from Tulsa, OkA really cool song! As a kid, I used to kick back with my cousins in the garage. In high school, me & my cousins jammed our band in that funky old garage. It had bats, rats, and awful acoustics! It was just a special place to get away to & play our music. And it wasn't a sad existence!! It was sorta fun. Guys gotta have our "get-aways" to unwind. Yeah!!!!! Love that line about "Kitty Pryde." The fuzz bass on this song is so cool the way it wavers.
  • Elmer H from Westville, OkI still love this song from '94 off "the Blue Album." I got into Weezer when my brother, who was in college at the time, got "the Blue Album" and I got exposed to Weezer. I loved nearly everything on it. And after that, I bought nearly every Weezer album. "In The Garage" seemed like a tribute to a guy's personal "get away" from the outside world. It doesn't necessarily make the guy a nerd or mental case, because everyone has their own "get away" from whatever stresses them out. In Weezer's situation, it was where they jammed or practiced, plus a place to chill-out under your own terms with your favorite things around too. In one sense, the song is easy for a lot of fans to relate to. Now, almost 20 years has passed since I first heard the song. Can't believe it's been that long. But I still love Weezer & their songs!
  • Joe from Chicago, Ili can relate to this song in so many ways. its like an anthem for anyone who stas home in fear of the world
  • Tyler from Apple Valley, CaThat's interesting, Brett. On the inside of the CD booklet for the album, there is a picture of a garage w/ Weezer's instruments in it.
  • Brett from Madison, WiThe garage is the name of Weezer's recording studio
  • Calvin from Kyle, TxThis song is easily one of my favorite weezer songs ever. Mainly because its great to see someone just straight up say hes a nerd and not care. also because i got all the references. thus lumping me into the same category. just a great heart felt song about the place that makes him feel safe and at home.
  • J from Nyc, NyI like this song, it probably is about him, I kind of hope not though, that's a pretty sad existence. If it is, kudos, it take a lot of courage to reflect back to oneself and honestly reflect about your insecurities.
  • Adam from Portland, Or"I've got Kitty Pryde / and Nightcrawler too / waiting there for me": Kitty Pryde (aka Shadowcat) and Nightcrawler are both characters in the X-Men comics.
  • James from Albuquerque, Nmi agree lexie. the song hit deep for me.
