Governor's Ball |
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 light, and well managed |
Said our property, would be damaged |
Until his boredom, took full advantage |
Of it all |
Talk to a girl, with 'eyes |
Who said she had jewelry to sell |
First he said no thanks, then he realized |
That he wasn’t feeling that well |
And he took what 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, |
And the curve you have … |
His friends searched the fair grounds for clues |
But security guard with a maniacal laugh |
Said it’s 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, |
It’s what you do» |
