lyrics

11 AM I’m on the porch drinking coffee, but you know that I’d rather be drinking double dog dare in the valley. I could call up my friends there and I know that they’d answer, but I’d much rather be way down on Main Street shaking it to Japanther. I remember the first time I went down there, I was 15, I took a shit in the park and I said “What the hell is this place? It freaks me out.” There’s no other place like it in this town. And then it was January and I’ve got to drive out to Clayton, but the snow’s piling up and I’m not sure if I’m gonna make it. So I stopped off in Browne’s and I parked my mom’s flivver and I ran down the stairs and shouted “Who wants to walk down to the river and watch the snowflakes fall?” And I didn’t feel cold at all. The next time you see me I’ll be shouting from the bridge and you’ll say “What’s with the ruckus? What the fuck, I think it’s Mitch.” and I’ll be older and smarter and wearing a dress, and I’ll be clutching a thousand pieces of paper to my chest, and all your new friends and neighbors will probably think I’m insane, they’ll say “who in the hell is that, how does he know your name?” and I’ll say “best friends I’m so glad to be back in town,” and then I’ll let loose the papers and we’ll watch them float down, and they’ll be colored and tiny; one with a sonnet and the other 999 each with a rocketship on it, but you probably won’t be able to tell, and every little cell in my body will be well
