I Went With Some Friends To See The Flaming Lips - Benji Hughes

I went with some friends to see The Flaming Lips

It was the greatest show I ever saw

We’d been planning the trip for a couple of months

And I just couldn’t wait to get it on

It was April 17th

It was Thursday night

It was raining just a little but we didn’t mind

We had some drinks in the bar at the Haywood park

Sent walking Jason on a beer run, 'cause it was getting dark

Then we checked into our rooms and started eating mushrooms

Jessica and Elle dropped by

We got directions to the club from the man at the door

And we rode down through the streets

Charlotte people on tour

Standing in a little line when we realized Mark had been taken too much,

taken way too much…

And later that night while the band played

I held the girl that I love in my arms

And most of my friends

And we all took turns holding Mark

Sometimes I almost forget how great that night really was

Then I talk to Mark and he can’t remember anything at all
