LISA'S LAST WORDS
-------------------------
Hedda had a headache from her nose to her spine
Pressed her swollen lips against a hand supine
Joel was oblivious to what this would mean
Inside his brownstone he shone
The violence like a machine
He orchestrated the chaos
Hedda heeded commands
He lorded over the Mayfly
Crushed her wings in his hands
(That froze her last words)
NO.
Heard about a dirty lawyer down on his luck
Caught your picture staring out from under the muck
He felt like Jephthah dancing over the coals
The prosecution was loaded, shot his tale full of holes
He orchestrated the chaos
Hedda failed to protect
She watched the tiny light flicker
But she couldn't connect
NO.

Raw and hooky as heck, “Disaster Preparedness Coloring Book” is all classic, ragged indie sonics and rock-solid melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2023
