Smells like teen Lana spirit.
“When I was 11 I saw Kurt Cobain singing ‘Heartshaped Box’ on MTV and it really
stopped me dead in my tracks. I thought he was the most beautiful person I had
ever seen. Even at a young age I really related to his sadness.”

When Mom and Dad went to a show
They dropped me off at grandpa Joe’s
I kicked and screamed; said, “Please, don’t go!”
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn’t chew my meat too good
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
She said, “Why don’t you stop your crying?
Go outside and ride your bike”
That’s what I did, I killed my toe!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Well, after dinner I had ice cream
I fell asleep and watched TV
I woke up in my mother’s arms!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
