Chillout Tent

Lyrics

[Craig Finn] There was a stage and a PA Up in western Massachusetts And 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 [Elizabeth Elmore] I got really hot and then I came to in the chillout tent They gave me oranges and cigarettes [Craig Finn] 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 sun-tan 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 [Dave Pirner, Elizabeth Elmore, & Both] Everything was spinning; 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 [Craig Finn] 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 [Dave Pirner & Elizabeth Elmore] 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
