about

Written and performed by Dominic Ziegler

lyrics

She lived alone in her little home
Staring at the numbers on the telephone
Problem was she was all alone, all alone

And so she lost her mind
Started making people out of twine
When she was finished, she said "You're my family
"And you will always be mine..."

They would always be there for her
They'd always come when she called
They knew her name and her social security number

Her friends would tell her to get a life
These were the friends that weren't very nice
These were the friends who sometimes made her cry, made her cry

She preferred the ones she made
Because they made her laugh
And if they ever made her cry
She could always cut them in half

They would always be there for her
They'd always come when she called
They knew her name and her social security number

But then she thought that they were thinking of leaving
She found their faces mean and deceiving
She said "You'd better not run away, better not run away"

"And I just bring you right back here again
"And anyway, where have you ever been?
"To leave is to live and to live is to lie
"And you know that to lie is to sin..."

They would always be there for her
They'd always come when she called
They knew her name and her social security number

Her suspicions made the Twine People mad
They lost the little bit of goodness they had
One by one they all went bad, they went bad

And so they put a knife to her throat
Made her put on her hat and her coat
Made her put out a long winded, tearstained
Legible suicide note

They would always be there for her
They'd always come when she called
They knew her name and her social security number

They found her body at the bottom of a well
They said she hadn't even screamed when she fell
They said she hadn't been mentally well, "Oh well..."

There was just one thing on everyone's mind
It was clear the fall had broken her spine
But they couldn't figure out why her body was covered
With tangled up pieces of twine

They would always be there for her
They'd always come when she called
They knew her name and her social security number
