Ben Folds Five - Twin Falls (Built to Spill)

From the BFF album Naked Baby Photos. Here is what Ben had to say about it in the liner notes:

"This song is beautiful and at the time we'd have been happy to be a Built To Spill cover band, but Japanese audiences had a hard time telling when the song was over, which made for a nice silent board recording."

And now, the lyrics:

Christmas, Twin Falls, Idaho's
her oldest memory.
She was only two.
It's the first time she felt blue.

Cafeteria, Harrison Elementary,
beneath the parachute
saw her without shoes.

7-up I touched her thumb
and she knew it was me
although she couldn't see,
unless of course she peeked.

My mom's good
she got me out of
Twin Falls, Idaho
before I got too old.
You know how that goes.

That's where she still was
the summer she turned 17.
1983, three weeks after me.

So last I heard, she had twins.
Or maybe it was three.
Though I've never seen.
that don't bother me.
