about

Recorded during the Split Ends sessions, but left off the album.

lyrics

Marissa’s hanging upside down on the monkey bars at recess, John Adams Elementary
I'm watching from afar while playing tetherball as she tucks her shirt into her jeans

She plays alone, no one dares approach
Marissa she's so tough and mean
I think she’s beautiful but wouldn’t tell a soul
No one likes Marissa but me

Round and round, round and round we go
Where we stop nobody knows

Marissa smokes a cigarette by the door of home ec. and kisses the popular Tommy Shockey
It’s the eighth guy I’ve seen her kiss this semester and still I wish one of them would have been me

She’s rarely home, passed around like a joke
That never was all that funny
All the girls hate her guts, say she’s nothing but a slut
Everyone’s had Marissa but me

She has something inside her
I’m drawn to girls who hide there
Buried in all their mystery
Tearing her insides, I’m wanting to find
The reasons for her misery

Round and round, round and round we go
Where we stop nobody knows

Marissa knocks on my door late at night in the heavy poor to where it hard to tell she’s crying
We sit in my car I hold her tight to keep her warm and she tells me of her story

She tells me of home, the abuse that she’s known
And that she’s aborting the baby
I’ve always regretted the oath that I wouldn’t tell a soul
So no one knows Marissa but me

Round and round, round and round we go
Where we stop nobody knows

Round and round, round and round we go
Then she stopped
