He 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

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 a 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

Then she said

Why not

What have you got to lose to lose

When he never came back

The curfew had passed

His friends searched the fair grounds for clues

But security guard with a maniacal laugh said

Its always the leader you lose

And 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

Was it real or imagined

Why on earth had he abandon them so soon

And he said

Why not I do what I've got to do

And so should you
