High School

It's raining in Redmond, always is

I'm awake but the sun's sleeping in

Darkness all around, as I drive to Bella Botega

You park your Mustang walk inside

We open up a worn-out book and

Summon some ancient spirit

He's a one man secret society

He's a wizard yeah he's a mystery

River water for blood, he's the fishing king

Ever since seventh grade he's been balding, yeah

This black and white world is a tiresome circle

I'm ready for the gray-scale to leave

I wanna see color again

I wanna feel the ultraviolet on my skin

Walking alone, smoking his pipe

Patiently waiting for the fruit to get ripe

I hear the drum beat of my own heart leading

He's a one man secret society

He's a wizard yeah he's a mystery

Fly fishing god and he lives for free

Got his heart in the ground like an old growth tree

How far have I come from the basement days

Vampire weekends and the post-rock haze

Soccer pants and skaterade

Avril Lavigne's got my photo in a frame

Like a mother goose on the future's eggs

I'm teaching your kids what's good and what to hate

Reading and writing poetry on the shore

Call high school on the phone you're sure to be ignored

He's a one man secret society

He's a wizard yeah he's a mystery

Rather play with fish than you and me

Some say he's half cat half human being, yeah
