Smells Like Nirvana
Skipping class,
to go sit in her smoke-filled back-seats,
her taste in music goes in all directions
The Queen of Ambiance meticulously sorts her selections

She puts every artist on trial,
forcing each one to present a case for air time,
I’m draggin a cigarette, and probably disappointing my momma
the Queen shouts "what about Nirvana?"

My favorite band, please let me hear it
without hesitation, she plays “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
Now we’re jamming, cigarettes on a first date
Grunge music, deep into the night so late

First the guitar, then the drums
Followed by her kisses, tongues pressed to gums
even the cops ignore us,
She turns the volume way up,
and we join Kurt for the chorus
