Chill Out Tent

(albüm: Boys And Girls In America - 2006)

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

He was kind of cute, we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
And I never saw that boy again
She seemed pretty cool, we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
And I never saw that girl again
