There was a stage and a PA up in western Massachusetts
|
The kids came from miles around to get messed up on the music
|
She drove down from Bowden with a carload of girlfriends
|
To meet some boys and maybe eat some mushrooms
|
|
And they did and she got sick, now she's pinned and way too shaky
|
She don't want to tell the doctor everything she's taken
|
The paramedics hovered over like a somber mourning family
|
They gave her activated charcoal, they flooded her with saline
|
|
I got really hot and then I came to in the chillout tent
|
They gave me oranges and cigarettes
|
|
He was rough around the edges, he'd been to school but never finished
|
He'd been to jail but never prison
|
And it was his first day off in forever, man, the festival seemed like a pretty good plan
|
Cruise some chicks and get a suntan
|
|
His friend gave him four but he said only take one
|
But then he got bored and he ended up taking all four
|
So now my man he ain't that bored, anyways
|
The paramedics found him, he was shaking on the side of the stage
|
|
Everything was spinning and then I came to in the chillout tent
|
They gave me oranges and cigarettes
|
I got really hot and then I came to in the chillout tent
|
They gave us oranges and cigarettes
|
|
She looked just like a baby bird
|
All new and wet and trying to light a Parliament
|
He quoted her some poetry, he's Tennyson in denim and sheepskin
|
He looked a lot like Izzy Stradlin
|
|
They started kissing when the nurses took off their IVs
|
It was kind of of sexy but it was kind of creepy
|
Their mouths were fizzy with the cherry cola
|
They had the privacy of bedsheets and all the other kids were mostly in comas
|
|
He was kind of cute, we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
|
And I never saw that boy again
|
She was pretty cool, we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
|
And I never saw that girl again
|
