lyrics
Ronald sits in the top of his school. It's 4:00. Most of the teachers have gone home. The coaches are hard at work at the plans they devised late the night before. You can hear the French horns giving it hell a long way away. He sits in a room that was a nice place to be in the seventies. The plaid sofa was chic in a Cambridge way. Now it's cool in the way the space behind the stage at a bar is cool. Keep the backlight away. Ronald sings, "Get back at my little girlfriend for me." Ronald sucks at basketball, he's shorter than his brothers. They both graduated but that's about it unless you count an acquittal as a success. He can't play. He probably has the muscle shape but he hides it under his thick skin. His voice is higher than it looks. He likes his shoes too much and you can tell. He sits on one leg. We all know girls don't like boys who sit on one leg. He sings, "Get back at my little girlfriend for me." Ronald can sing, he can sing, he can really sing. The tired lounge has several tape recorders he puts to use. He tracks his voice with vision and grace. That ratty room never housed this level of creation when it looked expensive. The alkyd smell didn't kill his spirit like it did the rest of them. Ronald sings, "Get back at my little girlfriend for me." The crowd of Russian speakers. After school outsiders with patches on their backpacks walk out now lighting a joint. Soon Carl will come to lock up. Ronald will take a bus home. His mom is sweet but she's tired. His apartment is tired. He'll stick himself in a much smaller room for the night. He'll finish his forced journal entry about careers. He'll eat a handful of salty, crunchy things. He'll go to sleep in his clothes, he'll dream of nothing, he'll sing, "Get back at my little girlfriend for me."
