letra de me and stupid - rheostatics

me and stupid at the cottage
casting out for giant trout
me and stupid threw back sunfish
digging worms and lighting punks
pretending we weren’t real

me and stupid at the coalis
picking scabs and playing tag
me and stupid, skook-m stupid
we got wailed on ginger ale
as flat as the ferguson girl

me and stupid, he was different
i told lies about my band
(me and stupid, stupid and me.)
he said would i show him chords
so i said “yes,” and i showed him
“the house of the rising sun,”
and some original new wave rock!
he was my best friend…

me and stupid at the ball yard
throwing rocks to rolling stones
he was catfish hunter
i was johnny bench, and he would clench
that ball like the whole of the world

then on a night in the north ontario summertime
i heard a sound from the lake
like the rage of a pike in the shallow reeds

something is about to happen. leaves are still
two sh0r-s away, a man hammering in the sky…

i jumped down from the bunk where i slept
in the room with the fake-look wood
and the painting of god
i could see his head bob there in the surf
i could see his footprints fresh in the turf
so i screamed and i yelled
like the time that i first heard aerosmith
steve tyler sang “dream on,” but i was stiff with fear
seeing him drown in the cold lake
so i screamed, and i yelled
but all i heard was the sound of my hot… air

me and stupid, his mind was f-cked up
but aren’t we all in our own way?
they took stupid to the dumb house
and that was all i saw of him
that summer i heard the ramones
they played original new wave rock!
(pike! trout! minnows! smelt!)
