Melissa Ferrick Aida
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

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

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
