Benjy Caplan
Available on: The Minus 5 Myspace page
Written by: McCaughey

He almost got a kitten
But the kitten was defected
It kept on falling over
So they forced him to reject it
He stays in his apartment
Spilling red wine on some screen plays
The kittens name is pretzel
But it's not in the apartment

15 minutes ago
15 stories below
15 seconds to go
so very slow

His name is Benjy Caplan
And he once committed treason
He'll be famous when you hear this
But for other better reasons
When the trees have turned to murder
In spite of law and order
The ex-girlfriend spilled the story
To a broke down old recorder

15 minutes ago
15 minutes or so
15 minutes ago
You didn't know

If he dies in his apartment
The revenge of little pretzel
They will rip him from the headlines
For a long and ... sequel
The can say it's based on nothing
Change his name to Abigail
But Denofrio will tell you
It's Benjy Caplan tale

15 minutes of fame
15 minutes is lame
15 minutes of fame
and nothing is changed
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
