Aida - Melissa Ferrick

She feeds pigeons from the

Roof of her house

Standing up against the moonlight

Throwing seeds into the night

Singing

Aida

Aida

The parents all think she’s crazy

Not allowed near her yard

Where the eight foot weeds

Seem to shoot up from the ground

She’s got a grocery cart that rattles

When she walks

Run away here comes the pigeon lady

And she’s singing

Aida

Aida

Aida where are you

The doors the windows all the curtains are shut

There is no sign of life during the daylight

So we sneak around

Throwing rocks into her hallowed ground

Making up stories about who is aida anyhow

She’s locked up in a closet

She’s a daughter and she lost her

She’s her sister

She’s her mother

She’s her invisible friend

Singing

Aida

Aida

Aida my darling

Yeah

Yeah

Everybody got excuses for me

I’m crazy i’m mean i’m a phony

If i touch you you will die

I don’t care if you don’t believe me

I dont' care if you want to tease me

I don’t break like ice

Cuz i’m looking for one person only

She’s gone and i’m lonely

So leave me to my vice alright

I’m looking for one person only

She’s gone and i’m lonely alright

Yeah

Aida

Aida

Aida my darling

Where are you
