lyrics

Back in the early part of this era
The fashionable knew that split personalities were de rigueur
We met one who had no shame
We never called her by her given name

Isn’t it ironic that when schizophenia was the norm
There weren’t enough laws on the books to keep “those people” locked up in the Pratt?

If you knew her by her real name
You’d get a shock when waking life you regained

And she found her face
And she wore it when she felt so ashamed
it was just a mask, the kind that lets you take all the blame
And when’s it outgrown that’s all right

The Pratt Library is full of nuts of the worst stripe imaginable
And I don’t just mean the homeless guys jacking off to the internet porn

Two or three times she ran out of names
In the back of her mind, she ran away from frame

We knew her by another name
it was the kind you have when you think about fame

And now this new mask, it makes the depraved feel so ashamed
It was no temple but now its sibyl’s been profaned
What an end

And she lost her face
And when she took it off she didn’t feel ashamed
And what an end we have now

A plan for a rotating six-string player abruptly ended when Brendan Bartow of the Fuses joined and it became obvious that no further searching was needed. The Miss played local small clubs and art galleries till autumn 2002. ... more
