Call Me Linda

(الألبوم: Big Delusion Factory - 2016)

"Even though I told people to call me Linda, that was another girl's name. I had to change my name several times because of what I had done, or rather, what had been done to me"
Aimee Parkison, The Innocent Party

They say a storm is arriving on Wednesday
And they say the only thing to do is leave town
Oh, but Bobby and Rick got a generator and a couple cases of beer
So we're sticking, yeah we're sticking around
The first thing I did when I woke up this morning
Was cry for no reason at all
So I walked down to the psychic in the strip mall off Broadway
And asked her to tell me just what in the hell was going on
And she said, "You will always have nothing
And you will never be free
You will never be someone
And you will die young, and alone, and broken."

Well, I didn't think that was very good

But I guess that's what you get for 10 bucks around here

Light rails filled with failures and fuck-ups
Ride blindly towards their routines
While the Marivan sisters steal mopeds and bikes
From outside bars along Hennepin Street
There is a definite sense of impending collision
You can read it in everyone's eyes
Nobody is safe and nobody is ready
It's all you can do to hold on
