IntroOh, I Want To Do My Hair As If It’s 1945,The Way That Ella Did Her HairWhen Ella Was Alive.I Have This Photo In The KitchenIn Her Makeup, Still A Kid.Oh, I Want To Do What Ella Did.Oh, I Want To Do What Ella Did.Verse 1Sleep With Shoes Under The Bed And A Flashlight There Beside.Check The Camera For The Man Who Came To The Yard Last Night.In The Darkness, How The Windows Show Inside From Both Sides.In The Dream He’s Coming Through The Window FrameWhere To Hide? Too Late To Call Or Run AwayOh My God, He’s Calling For You By Your Name!InterludeVerse 2When The Morning Dream Is Over The Camera Pings Again,But This Time It Is The Grackle That Came To Steal The Egg.Morning Sky-Reflected Window, A Bird Flies To Its Death.Take The Body, Mark It With A Little StoneRead The Poem Karin Sent About The BoatOh My God, The Veil Is Thin And Here’s A Hole!InterludeVerse 3And You Always Call On Ella, Though Ella Isn’t Here.On Your Side It Is A Mirror, On Hers The Glass Is Clear —Or Is It Just Imagination That Makes A Sign Appear?
