Testo Chillout Tent

Testo Chillout Tent

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 Boden with a carload of girlfriends

To meet some boys and maybe eat some mushrooms
And they did and she got sick

And now she's pinned and way too shaky

She don't wanna tell the doctor everything she's taken

The paramedics hovered over her like a somber mourning family

They gave her activated charcoal, they flooded her with saline



(Her)

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 said only take one

But then he got bored and he ended up taking all four

Ah, so now my man ain't that bored anyways

The paramedics found him, he was shaking on the side of the stage



(Him)

Everything was spinning and I came to in the chillout tent

They gave me oranges and cigarettes



(Her)

I got really hot and then I came to in the chillout tent



(Both)

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 kinda sexy, but it was kinda creepy

Their mouths were fizzy with the cherry cola

They had the privacy of bedsheets

And all the other kids were mostly in comas



(Her)

He was kinda cute, we kinda kicked it in the chillout tent

And I never saw that boy again."



(Him)

She was pretty cool, we kinda kicked in the chillout tent

And I never saw that girl again



(Her)

He was kinda cute, we kinda kicked it in the chillout tent

And I never saw that boy again



(Him)

She seemed pretty cool, we kinda kicked it in the chillout tent

And I never saw that girl again
