lyrics

They called her Lemons ‘coz of her addiction to decaffeinated coffee,
With half a bag of plain sweetener, oh please,
And straight gin, with no ice.

She was the last of seven sisters.
Her early years scampering around her family’s feed warehouse
Forged the basis of what sometimes seemed to be.

Like a row of palm trees lined up along the waterfront.
Like a dog that decides this is the place to curl one out
She was like that, one little step after the other.
Hopelessly plunged into the obligation to move forward.

Unavoidable like the spinning of a wheel on a downhill road.
And if the milling goes wrong, you know that I don't give a fuck, no.

There was a time, both sweet and sour, in which she decided to capture her miseries on cocktail napkins.

They called her Lemons ‘coz of her addiction
To prompt awkward situations for everyone.
She used to defoliate daisies as a hobby on winter afternoons.
“If it rained someday I would go out and dance”
That thought kept her alive. She wasn’t keen on storms until it rained.

Years later she died due to a panic attack.
Nobody claimed her body, nor her works.
"Seven dead dogs falling face down, and a poor old woman crying in front of her husband's coffin, dead from hysteria"
Those were her last words.
They called her Lemons ‘coz of her addiction to coffee.
Decaffeinated please. Otherwise I panic
