Jill Sobule - Cinnamon Park Lyrics

Me and Betty Shelly were at Cinnamon Park
Waiting for the battle of the bands
Betty's older brother had a bad reputation
And a waterbed in his van

He said, "Hey, Jilly Sue, I've got something for you
Something that will blow your mind"
We hopped into his van and he opened his hand
He said it's only mother nature

Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out but in a really good way
In a really good way, yeah, those were the days
I wish I could go back again

Billy had a talk box and a Peavey bass
Started feeling funny when they hit the stage
Betty was getting so shitfaced
And I could not stop laughing

As I spun all around and I laid on the ground
I was amazed how the clouds just kept moving
And they played the same song
And they played the chords wrong but I never heard it better

Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out but in a really good way
In a really good way, yeah, those were the days
I wish I could go back again

Betty's now in counseling and she's using again
Her brother's unemployed but with a brand new van
Billy came in second in the battle of the bands
Wish we could go back again

Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out but in a really good way
In a really good way, yeah, those were the days
I wish I could go back again

Cinnamon Park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out but in a really good way
In a really good way, yeah, those were the days
I wish I could go back again
