I was not involved up at the Northtown mall
|
As a matter of fact I didn't even know that that's where it happened
|
I was France Ave when they came out dancing, I was Lyndale South, I was kicking it with cousins
|
We were talking about going clubbing but instead we just started drinking
|
|
I've been straight since the Cinco de Mayo
|
But before that I was blotto, I was blacked out
|
I was cracked out, I was caved in
|
You should have seen all these portals that I've powered up in
|
|
We started recreational
|
It ended kinda medical
|
It came on hot and soft
|
And then it tightened up its tentacles
|
|
I wasn't there
|
I was blind, high, I was scared
|
I was lake and Columbus, I was cutting off all my hair
|
I was unfurling a flag of defiance aimed at my guidance guy
|
|
So this is it
|
This is the end of the session
|
I ain't gonna be taking any more questions
|
I think my attorney's gonna second that notion
|
|
It started recreational
|
It ended kinda medical
|
It came on hot and soft
|
And then it tightened up its tentacles
|
|
The band played screaming for vengeance
|
And we agreed, this world is mostly manacled
|
It started ice cream social nice
|
It ended up all white and ecumenical
|
|
There are guys, there are guys, there are guys, there are guys
|
With wild eyes when they ask to get you high
|
There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls
|
That will come to you with comfort in the night
|
|
Thats right
|
|
We started recreational
|
It ended up all medical
|
It came on hot and soft and then
|
It tightened up its tentacles
|
|
The band played sabbath bloody sabbath
|
You thought it was stoney and adorable
|
It started in the vestibule
|
It ended in the hospital
|
|
There are guys, there are guys, there are guys, there are guys
|
With the wild eyes when they ask to get you high
|
There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls
|
That will come to you with comfort in the night
|
|
There are nights, there are nights, there are nights, there are nights
|
Where it all comes on a little bit too bright
|
There's a cross, there's a cross, there's a cross, there's a cross
|
And in the center there is a hot soft light
|
