about

An ode to the hula-hoop lady of Granby Street, Pamela Brown.

lyrics

A prom night injury
A future written off
And when they said she wouldn't be all there
She woke up singing esperer

And my drive
It had some perspective
And my drive
It had some relief

And then the rains came
They tased Pamela Brown
Her median is empty
And now Granby has no sound
Defenseless characters
The color of every town
Just take a minute
And be grateful that it's loud

A yellow hydro-hoop
A smile and a glance
The break in your routine
Sneakers faster than the HRT

And my drive
It had some perspective
And my drive
It had some relief

And then the rains came
They tased Pamela Brown
Her median is empty
And now Granby has no sound
Defenseless characters
The color of every town
Just take a minute
And be grateful that it's loud

Officers ground, please slow down
She's reaching for her medical card
Officers ground, please slow down
She's reaching for her medical card
Officers ground, please slow down
(Would you remember someone)
She's reaching for her medical card
(Thirty years from now)
Officers ground, please slow down
(Could you just take a moment)
She's reaching for her medical card
