Well Tom Gan's dad was a military manI met him when he started playin' bass for our only local bandHe was tall and he was quietAnd as a kid he had lived everywhere that you can liveAnd after a few years, well, he got used to itThen finally, at last, his father, he retiredAnd they told him he could go anywhere he wants to goBut he just didn't know 'cause anywhere seemed fine to himSo he took a dart and he threw it at a mapAnd it landed dead center, it landed dead center on BloomingtonAnd I was fallin' for this girl that said she was a witchShe also said she was no longer with her boyfriendEven though she was there in Vincennes living in his apartmentAnd we'd all stay up late and talk about forbidden thingsThe blesses and the curses and the things that we believedWe shared ghost stories and fell asleep right there on their carpetsAnd Tom said, "There's this place that you really all should seeThere's this wicked tree stump rooted in a haunted cemeteryAnd if you set up on it, well you will surely die"So we went in the car and went for a rideSo we wandered down the trail and into the darkened woodsWe found that evil spot just where he said it wasWe didn't dare, no we didn't dare to get too near itAnd I didn't know it then but I'd be back againSongtexteAnd I would tell the same tale to a dozen newfound friendsAnd do my best, I'd do my best to spread this lovely legendWhen we decided to retreat and get something to eatIt was already two in the morningTom said he knew this place that stayed open real lateThey made good pizza so we shouldn't worryWe went to Rocket's that nightAnd I had no idea how much this place would mean to meAnd as I ate my slice I swear I could taste my destinyA couple of days later my life had become a wreckThe witch was mad at me and so was her boyfriendAnd it turned out they were both crazy or both in love with meThe answer to that riddle I don't think I'll ever getTom asked me if I would move to Bloomington with himAnd I said yes and I said maybe we could start up a bandSo I packed up all my things and became a new person Aus Songtexte Mania
