Speedy Ortiz – Basketball lyrics
[Verse 1]
In my defense
I never played so hard for varsity but I'll score again
That untouched net, a source of dread
I wanted my own hole to crawl through
Still do
Basketball in a vacant lot
The surprising scent of a gland contracting
Up against the playground fence
With so much guilt, I couldn't protest
You too
[Chorus]
One finger on the ball
Suspended round, it goes spinning slow
It goes slow
There's another point
For the pointless team I'm cheering on
With pom-poms and batons
[Verse 2]
Why are you sweating your game?
Another holy spaz although with radioactive conjurings
A fearful lord who wipes my brow and licks up all my salt
[Chorus]
Girls, hit the showers now
And if you wanna drown, breathe slow
Breathe not at all
There's another point
For the pointless team I'm cheering on
With pom-poms and batons
In my defense
I never played so hard for varsity but I'll score again
That untouched net, a source of dread
I wanted my own hole to crawl through
Still do
Basketball in a vacant lot
The surprising scent of a gland contracting
Up against the playground fence
With so much guilt, I couldn't protest
You too
[Chorus]
One finger on the ball
Suspended round, it goes spinning slow
It goes slow
There's another point
For the pointless team I'm cheering on
With pom-poms and batons
[Verse 2]
Why are you sweating your game?
Another holy spaz although with radioactive conjurings
A fearful lord who wipes my brow and licks up all my salt
[Chorus]
Girls, hit the showers now
And if you wanna drown, breathe slow
Breathe not at all
There's another point
For the pointless team I'm cheering on
With pom-poms and batons
