8 years old on a family campout
Four blank cassette tapes and one plastic camera
I don't remember where they went
Somewhere on a hiking trail in Oregon
They bought me mint chocolate ice cream
But it did nothing to improve my mood
I was such a miserable kid
I think it was the first time
I learned to play the G
They said we're making memories
But I guess we never did
There was a man in a shack in the forest
Who once held a place of esteem and importance
But now he hides away from life
Collecting trash along the paths I used to hike
And found a plastic camera
Went into town to get the rolls exposed
He had nothing better to do
And plugged into his tapedeck
A mixtape recorded from radio
From a station that he never knew
Twenty years old full of hormones and pretence
At some gallery my friends said was famous
Just there to make my presence known
When on the wall I see the ghost of Oregon
My parents' smiling faces
Up in a touring attraction
"Found Objects Of The Pacific Northwest"
Hey buddy, who gave you the
Right to reappropriate
Oh, can't you see
That bucktooth kid is me
