Mark Kozelek
Needles Disney
I was in Seattle and you were there
Said you were in a methadone clinic
You came to my show and you talked the whole way through it
About how you couldn't sleep and fuck
You kept me up, you asked me "please please Mark
Could you give me thirty bucks?"
So you could go out and score
And I gave it to you so I could get some sleep
And you ran off into the streets so fast like a little crack whore
Came back I told you I was playin' in a couple of days in Orlando
You bounced up and down in the bed like a little yo-yo
"Please Mark, I've always wanted to go to Disney World"
I said sure, next morning we went to the airport
You saw me play my show down at the Sapphire
And we met a fan there who of all things played a Disney character
He was nice enough to arrange free passes and your smile was so bright
Some people we met at the venue took us
To Disney World
We went to Splash Mountain
I looked at the photo of us on the ride
We both looked so happy and carefree and oh
Later that day we were walkin' and you dropped your purse
And you squatted down in your leopard-skin skirt
To pick up all your hypodermic needles, I helped you with it
Everyone looked at us like we were both pure evil
And on the way back we heard 10cc's "I'm Not in Love"
And you got real close to me and at the same time we both said "I love this song"
And you fell asleep on my shoulder as we rode along in the backseat
Content and peaceful as a sleeping fawn
And the girl who was drivin' was looking at me in the rearview
Like "What's up, why the hell did you bring that crazy girl with you?"
I looked at her like "Mind your own goddamn business, fuck you, junkies are allowed to enjoy Disney World too"
Oh Disney World
A place for moms and dads and little boys and little girls
A place for everyone to have fun as far as I'm concerned
Some day I gotta go back to Orlando
And make some time for Disney World
Oh I never dreamed that you'd ever ever ever ever even turn thirty
You dated an illegal and you had his baby
He started robbin' stores and he went to prison down in Mexico City
And all these years later you're livin' not far away
And I'm almost forty now and on the same day you're gonna be forty too
You know something? I still have a lot of love for you
I still have a lot of love for you
I still have a lot of love for you
I still have a lot of love for you
I still have so much love for you
I still have a lot of love for you
I have so much love for you
I have so much love for you
I still have so much love for you
You still have a few drinks and you still smoke a little weed
But you're off the junk and you work for an outreach program
Helping kids on the street
And though we only see each other maybe once or twice a year
When I see you your smile always manages to fill my heart with cheer
When I see you I never dare bring up that young girl
Who dropped her needles all over the pavement at Disney World
Oh Disney World [x12]
