Lyrics Speedy Ortiz – Basketball
Text:
In my defense I never played so hard for varsity
But I’ll score again
That untouched net, a source of dred
I wanted my own home to crawl through
Still do
Basketball in a vacant lot
The surprising scent of a gland contracting
Up against the playground fence
With so much guilt I grew in protest
You too
One finger on the ball
Suspended rounded ball spinning slow
You go slow
There is another point
For the pointless team I’m cheering on
With pom-poms and baton
Why are you sweating your game
Another holy spasm
Although with radioactive conjuring’s
Their fearful lord
Who waxed my brow and licked up all my salt
Girls hit the showers now
And if you wanna drown breathe slow
Breathe not at all
There is another point
For the pointless team I’m cheering on
With pom-poms and baton
