Speedy Ortiz - Basketball

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

Ref.
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

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

Ref.
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
