When I was in 7th grade
I put kids in three categories
Sports kids smart kids social kids
Some kids played football well and were dumb and ugly
And some kids got great grades
And their only friends were their pens
And there were others that danced among us
There were others that danced among us
And made us all look like the kids we were
They were big daring sexual
I wasn't much in any of the categories
But in high school I met Sterling
And I had something
At this one party I was drunk and so was everyone else
The sofas and the chairs were floating
And the people were shifting in their spheres
I sat on a couch and took a ride
Through a door to the kitchen I saw a circus
Plenty of colors red and yellow white
There were few ringmasters barking out things
And some lions in green letterman jackets
And this huge black seal
Bonking down on this one guy Ivan
Bouncing him like he was a ball of air
Until Ivan was slouched halfway to the
One of the others hit him on the crown with a frying pan
Like a cartoon Ivan went all the way down and laid flat
Sterling was on the side of it all pouring foamy piss-colored beer
All over Ivan's pale and bloody face
Laughing his electric eel grin with his shark dart teeth
On the car ride home he drove us drunk through the dark
Like a boat on a flat starless sea
Done done done done done done done done
Done done done done done
On the car ride home
He drove us drunk
Through the dark
Like a boat
On a flat
Starless sea
On the car ride home
He drove us drunk
Through the dark
Like a boat
On a flat
Starless sea
