about

This is a home demo

lyrics

There she goes
Down the cellar stairs
And out the window

No one knows
That she lived her life
From apothecary jars
Didn’t get too far
No one recalls and so I’ll sing this song about you


Brother George
Was selling paint
From a strip mall down in Clawson
Fred started poor
And Dercy worked on the coast
Where Johnny played
Memories fade
No one recalls and so I’ll sing a song about you

The Butcher
The Baker
The little pill taker
The factory girl who made your bed
The forgotten souls
Whose bent shoulders we stand on
And then toss aside when they’re dead

And what of me?
Will I for once
Be a woman known forever?

Or will I be
Just another puzzle piece
In row 16?
Almost unseen?

Will they recall?
Will they still sing this song about me?
