Ben Folds Five - Twin Falls (Built to Spill) video free download

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.
