i'm tracing pentagrams with chalk onto my floor i'm lighting candles cookin' curses casting spells to bring a storm that will cloud up over bloomington, and make black the midwest sky i'm pushing pins into the map to mark the points for lightning strikes may the ashes of the university make their way out to the sea and may the bones of the invaders mix with the bricks of burned buildings we will make them into to mortar and we will build this town again i'm calling on dark forces to take me back to bloomington we'll dig some holes and plant some seeds and grow trees back in the park so the bums will have some shade to drink and a place to sleep when it gets dark nick will get his job back when we re-open the Vonlee we'll watch movies and eat popcorn but this time we won't have to sneak we'll make music in our basements we'll play 4-square in the streets we'll carve hexes in our our highways to ward off the wicked beasts and this time we'll keep our city
safe we'll keep our city sweet we'll keep our city free one by one and block by block we watched it slip away the towers of our enemies grew taller everyday until at last i cast away and tried to find some better place but it's wings are wide and cast it's shadow down on everything so i'm praying to the lord and every other god i know to give me a flaming sword and some extra lightning bolts and the power to destroy the ones who took our town away and the strength we need to build it back into something great and this time we'll keep our city safe...and sam will come back from california and she will know just what we need to do and all the cool kids that i've met in all the places that i've went will hear the booming of the battle and come too and we'll make this place into the greatest place there's ever been all we want is a place to live the kind of lives to want to live so i'm rubbing every lantern that i find and i'm chasing every rainbow that i
see i'm searching the clovers trying to find one with four leaves anything that could grant one wish to me (x2) and portland will not save you and olympia will fall too and gainesville will surrender someday and i know bloomington will never be the same bloomington will never be the same

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
