Planetarium Lyrics by Steven Wright

I Still Have a Pony

0

I went to high school in London because we moved around a lot because my father thought he was in the military

Then we came back to Massachusetts where I lived. I went to school in Massachusetts but in the summers, I worked in Toronto in a planetarium

Nine of us worked there. We had our own softball team. We would play other planetariums in the area

When no one was inside the planetarium, we would practice inside thе planetarium and I played second basе so I stood right on the Saturn and the shortstop stood on the Jupiter and the third baseman stood on the Mars. One time, we tried the same setup outside but everybody was just way too far away from each other

I was just standing in the middle of Utah like this...

---

In high school, I went out with two different girls. One was like the girl next door, if you live next to a whorehouse

The other one was an angel on Earth. She had little bumps on her back where her wings used to be. Apparently, at one point, she also had wings on the front

I went to take her out. Her father said, "I want her home by 8:15." I said, "The middle of August? That's cool."

It was the first time I was ever in love and I learned a lot. Before that, I never even thought about killing myself

---

Sometimes, at night, we would go up to the planetarium and lay down on the roof and look up at the stars. It was like being in a galaxy sandwich

I'd bring my harmonica and I had a pair of glasses. I painted lines across the lenses so when I looked at the sky, the stars would become notes on the lines and I would play the sky. One time, a shooting star went by and I almost broke my neck

---

I said, "Lucinda, will you always love me?" She said, "I doubt it. I don't even love you now."
