He d invite me over
when his girl was out of town
We'd watch a film with subtitles
and then we'd fool around

German existentialism
gave him such a thrill
He used the word cinematography
so much it made me ill

He told me that Paul Westerberg
invented modern rock
He talked about his year abroad
in the former Soviet Bloc

Then he'd tell me all about
where Kerouac went wrong
Go back to Prague you art fag bastard
that s where you belong
