about

This song has a fun bounce, with a dark sound, similar to Little Miss Krissy herself

lyrics

Born a boy in Arkansas
Home  was just a house at war
Constant run ins with the law
Couldn't fight it anymore
Fled out east to make a change
Starting with a woman's name
When trouble followed on her heals
New York lost its star appeal

Oh little miss Krissy
Says life's not so pretty
You got to shuck and jive
Just to stay alive
If that's not enough, Well tough

Kicked around her troubled life
Hustling for a roof at night
Boyfriend was the violent type
Shot her when she dared to fight
ER barely patched her
Hoped God would dispatch her
Or the cops would snatch her
Let the devil catch her

Krissy had a bullet lodged in her shoulder
Didn't imagine she would get much older
Houses a Hollow point from a 22
Drs don't know what to do
4 years carrying lead around
Any second could run aground
floats inside her broken apart
Piece spreading towards head and heart

Oh little miss Krissy
Says life's not so pretty
You got to shuck and jive
Just to stay alive
If that's not enough, Well tough

about

Blonde Toledo San Francisco, California

Music thats full of melodies, strangely familiar, but none that you’ve ever heard. Passes the American Bandstand test of having a good beat and danceability, with rhythms from a plurality of backgrounds.It’s full of surprises, yet firmly based in the traditions of Brill Building Pop, Colombian Cumbia, Yiddish Theatre, Post Bop Jazz, British Invasion Rock, and whatever else falls to hand. ... more
