Chill out

There was a stage and a PA up in western Massachusetts

The kids came from miles around to get messed up on the music

And she drove down from Bowdoin 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

And 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
