Eric

Eric your mother she hit you -

To help you do better in school!

Eric your father he sent you to a place where the teachers were cruel

You ran away in your underwear-

Decided that day you were going nowhere.

You said "I wanna be a neutron star!"

You moved back to San Francisco

To join a free-loving commune

When It fell apart you had nowhere to go

But your mother she saved you your room!

You sit in the house watching cable tv

With your cat and your mouse and your vial of GHB...

You say "I wanna be a neutron star!"

But you're still growing- you're still glowing int he dark

Make sure not to gain any ground

By spending half of your life coming down...

Coming down Coming down

Eric your teachers are people

Like Philip Dick and Ray Kurzweil

But they love to think of the future,

While the future just isn't your style
