Is There Anybody Out There?

a darkwave Electro Halloween 🎃 Version of "They're Coming to Take Me Away" - a 1966 song about being driven mad when a relationship shatters to pieces
------
LYRICS:
------
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged you
Not to leave 
Because I´d go beserk?
WELL...
You left me anyhow and
Then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I´ve gone completely
Out of my mind

AND

They´re coming to take me away
Haha
They´re coming to take me away
Ha ho, ho ho, hee hee

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I´ll be happy to see
Those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they´re 
Coming to take me 
AWAY
HA HA HO

You thought it was a joke
And so you LAUGHED
YOU LAUGHED!

When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid
RIGHT?

You know you laughed
I HEARD you laugh
You laughed
And laughed and laughed
And then you left
But now you know 
I´m utterly mad

They´re coming to take me away

Haha

They´re coming to take me away
Ho, hee hee, ha ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers
And chirping birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile 
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they´re coming to take me away

HAHA

I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish loving deeds

HMM?

Well, you just wait
They´ll find you yet
And when they do
They´ll put you in
The ASPCA-
You mangy MUTT

Coming to take me away

the dark and twisted relationship of '50s doo-wop couple, Timmy and Sharon, is on full display in their classic and troubling song "Something's Missing"
------
LYRICS:
------
I woke up this morning
Something's missing

My penis was gone  
sha-na, shoo-bop  
I looked all around  
sha-na-na
Don’t stop  

It used to be attached  
doo-wop, doo-wop  
Now it’s out in the world  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

How did this happen?  
shoo-bop, shoo-bop  
Who’s to blame?  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Did you misplace it again?  
Or is it gone for good?  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Detached, Detached
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Lost in the city
shoo-bop, shoo-bop  
Walking alone
Looking for it  
sha-na-na
Stranger hands
Stranger faces
doo-wop, doo-wop  
I found it again
I lost it again  

I went to the bar  
sha-na-na, shoo-bop  
Sat down alone  
sha-na-na, don’t stop  

Ordered a drink  
doo-wop, doo-wop  
My penis 
Not in my pants  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Don’t panic, Don’t panic  
shoo-bop, shoo-bop  
It’ll turn up  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Maybe someone borrowed it  
Or it went for a stroll  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  

Dettached, Detached 
sha-na-na
sha-na-na

I checked the alley  
Behind the trash cans  
I retraced my steps  
Through the neon streets  

My penis
My penis
Lost and found  
sha-na-na-na
doo-wop
shoo-bop

Detached
Sha Na Na
Sha Na Na

Detached, Detached  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  
Back in my pants  
sha-na-na, sha-na-na  
Relief and horror  
Another day
Another adventure

I hope it stays put…  
Don’t count on it
Detached, Detached
sha-na-na-na
shoo-bop
Ahhh.

SOMETHING'S MISSING

bringing a 1980s television PSA to a new generation... the message stays the same...   if pills could talk, they'd tell us that they're not candy
------
LYRICS:
------
Hey-
What are we doing 
Out of the bottle?
This is dangerous

A little kid might come along 
And think we were candy
That would be awful because
We're medicine

He might even eat us
No no no no
This is serious
(Serious)

We could make you 
Delirious
(Delirious)
You should have a healthy 
Fear of us
(Fear of us)
Too much of us is dangerous

Woah woah woah woah

We're not candy
(Believe us)
Even though we 
Look so fine and dandy
When you're sick
We come in handy, but...
We're not candy

No no no no

Doctors tell the pharmacy
(Pharmacy)
Types of pills that
You will need
(You will need)
And he knows the harm that 
We can be
(We can be)

If we're not taken carefully
Woah woah woah woah
We're not candy
(Believe us)

Even though 
We look so fine and dandy
When you're sick 
We come in handy, but...
We're not candy
No no no no

Oh no
Let's get back in the bottle

Yeah-
Come on
Let's go
That's where we belong
That's better!

Woah woah woah woah

We're not candy
(Believe us)
Even though we 
Look so fine and dandy
When you're sick
We come in handy, but...
We're not candy

No no no no

WE ARE NOT CANDY

fabricated lies for our followers... the truth is we eat chips in the dark when the posts are done
------
LYRICS:
------
"Best trip ever.
Cocktails in the sun.
Nothing but good vibes."  

But the photo hides 
The fight in the hotel room
Credit cards maxed out
Silence between them

"Lucky to have found my soulmate. 
Wouldn’t trade this love for anything."

But his voice shakes
Her eyes roll
The dinner ended in 
Slammed doors and cold sheets

"Homemade veggie bowl.
Health is wealth.
Clean eating is life!"  

But the fridge is empty
The bills unpaid
She eats chips in the dark 
When the photo’s done

Münchausen, Münchausen
Who are you when the filter ends?  
Münchausen, Münchausen
Who are you without the lies?  

I need ten posts today
Gotta keep my numbers climbing
Every smile rehearsed
Every meal is perfect timing

Subscribers are my oxygen
Attention is the cure
But the more I fake my happiness
The sicker I become for sure

Münchausen, Münchausen
We are the masks that we defend
Münchausen, Münchausen
Who are we when the lights go dim?  

Münchausen, Münchausen
Everyone’s telling stories online
Münchausen, Münchausen
We're all deceivers by design

Münchausen
Münchausen
