EmThere was a stage and a DPA up in western CMassachusetts And the kids came from miles around to get messed up on the Emmusic And she drove down from DBoden with a carload of Cgirlfriends
To meet some boys and maybe eat some mushrooms
EmAnd they did and she got sick And now she's Dpinned and way too shaky CShe don't wanna tell the doctor everything she's taken EmThe paramedics hovered over her like a Dsomber mourning family CThey gave her activated charcoal, they flooded her with saline
