lyrics

Lisa's still here, she's still alive
She's not doing well, she's just getting by.
She marked on the trash can before the bus came.
says, Lisa's still here so remember my name.

She walks up the steps, pays the three dollar fare
takes up her transfer keenly aware,
of her mind that's been leaving and all they say that she lacks.
Lisa she's going but that bus will be back.

After three different buses and miles of red tape,
in a fluorescent lit building named after a saint.
The answers are few when the questions are stock.
Insurance no good, all the doors remain locked.

Behind those doors they expect her to bow.
Spared her the rod, now expect her to plow.
Start living life that's healthy and good,
but Lisa's she's fighting just to be understood.

They washed of the ink, it stains the concrete.
So easy to miss hidden under your feet.
So it is written, so let it be done.
Keep your head down if you can't stand the sun.

Lisa she's here, she's still alive
She's not doing well, she's just getting by.
She marked on the trash can before the bus came.
says, Lisa's still here so remember my name.

Bobby Stevens recommends:

Buried & Hissing
by Natural Sway

First time caller, longtime listener. I was playing out in the garden, dodging bees in the bergamot when I put this album on. AC off the bat, set up a really heady, twisty, turny. Loads of melody. . Bobby Stevens

Strange Attractor
by Zack Kelley and the Hollow City Band

10+ year anniversary deluxe addition. I am proud to have played guitar on this album. Zack is an insanely talented songwriter. Packs great tales into awesome melodic and sometimes odd structures. Bobby Stevens
