e came with his friends in a caravan
To witness the governor’s ball
Sat by himself on a cool patch of grass
While the rest stood like bricks in a wall.
The stage it looked like a vending machine,
The singer a black Barbie doll.
But it was well-lit and well-managed
So no property would be damaged
Until his boredom took full advantage
Of it all.

He talked to a girl with klonopin eyes
Who said she had jewelry to sell.
First he said, “No thanks,” then he realized
That he wasn't feeling that well.
And the turquoise she held looked like pieces of sky
And the garnet like teardrops from hell.
She offered him a necklace and he wanted to accept it,
But it would end up too expensive,
He could tell.
And she said, “Why not? What have you got to lose? (To lose?)”

When he never came back, and the curfew had passed,
His friends searched the fairgrounds for clues.
A security guard with a maniacal laugh
Said, “It’s always the leader you lose.”
When he finally turned up in the broad light of day
With a black eye as big as the moon,
They all asked him what had happened,
(Oh) was it real or all imagined?
Why on earth had he abandoned them so soon?
And he said, “Why not? I do what I've got to do. And so should you.”
