[Lyric] ​mike townsend was a credit to the team (the garages)

[Intro]
Mike Townsend is a disappoint- (Wait, no, no, that's not right, uh—)

[Verse 1]
I've an apology
I need to make to you
'Cause I just underestimated all that you could do
We can't know what you've got
Or what's coming next
I just can't wait to see you get into your eight-legged mech

[Pre-Chorus]
And I admit I got a little caught up
'Cause after all, you didn't disappoint me that much

[Chorus]
Mike Townsend was a credit to the team
Like a laser beam we fired at the sun
Mike Townsend was a credit to the team
Yeah, you weren't a meme
When all was said and donе
Your redemption arc has come and gonе
[Verse 2]
I made a mistake
I downplayed your credentials
I did not realize all of Mike Townsend's p-potential
And we can leave what's in the past
As antecedent
'Cause I can't put your vibes down when they were "most excellent"

[Pre-Chorus]
And I admit I got a little caught up
'Cause after all, you didn't disappoint me that much

[Chorus]
Mike Townsend was a credit to the team
He had a theme that goes like, kinda sorta this one
Mike Townsend was a credit to the team
Man of our dreams, you know he's gone and saved our girl
Yeah, your redemption arc has come and gone

[Spoken: Allison Abbott]
Allison here. I think it was really easy to see Mike as a disappointment at first. Dude did really suck at pitching. And he lived in Bellevue, what a square! But every time he got up on the mound and threw what he called his "signature knuckleball," there was a joy to him. I think he rubbed off on all of us. Win or lose, he played to have fun, and that’s the Garages spirit distilled. He was the life of the party, the soul of our team, and just a good guy. Thanks for everything, bud. We’re gonna miss ya. Give 'em hell

[Verse 3]
When the time comes 'round
It's not an accident
That Mike will be there with his mech gun pointed heaven-sent
And from his cockpit high
He will rain down blows
And if the gods survive is something only Townsend knows
[Pre-Chorus]
And I admit I got a little caught up

[Chorus]
But Mike Townsend was a credit to the team
It's not extreme to say he'd beaten all the odds
Mike Townsend is a credit to the team
And I believe he's gonna end all of the gods

[Outro]
He's a disappointment, he's a credit to the team
There's a coldness in his blood and he knows what that means
Mike Townsend knows what he's gotta do
Yeah, his redemption arc has come and gone
