I guess before Jed left he wrote some poems
He didn't write 'em for anyone in particular
I suppose I can show you guys one
Okay, here it goes
You said I'd wake up dead drunk, alone in the park
I called you a liar
But how right you were
Air-conditioned TV land, twenty grand, walk to the bank
With shakes from the night before
Staring at the tiki floor
Mitch
High school wedding ring, keys are under the mats
Of all of the houses here
But not the motels
I try to sing it funny like Beck, but it's bringing me down
Lower than ground
Beautiful ground
Beautiful ground
Beautiful ground
Beautiful ground
Beautiful ground, yeah
Test tones and
Failed clones and
Odd parts made you
He didn't write 'em for anyone in particular
I suppose I can show you guys one
Okay, here it goes
You said I'd wake up dead drunk, alone in the park
I called you a liar
But how right you were
Air-conditioned TV land, twenty grand, walk to the bank
With shakes from the night before
Staring at the tiki floor
Mitch
High school wedding ring, keys are under the mats
Of all of the houses here
But not the motels
I try to sing it funny like Beck, but it's bringing me down
Lower than ground
Beautiful ground
Beautiful ground
Beautiful ground
Beautiful ground
Beautiful ground, yeah
Test tones and
Failed clones and
Odd parts made you

It's about someone so completely jaded that he just floats through life, but doesn't really want it to end. He's talking to someone in the poem, and I guess he doesn't want to let that someone go, but at the same time, he wants to sink into the "beautiful ground," as deep as he can go.
