Titus Luxor

Misfit (circa 1985)

Another song salvaged from an old cassette.

I can tell I was obsessed with Zappa when I wrote this.

Not a bad attempt at emulating Frank's 70s SG/wah-wah sound.

If I tried to sing this now I'd burst a blood vessel.

Linda's having trouble with her social life

Everybody's telling her so

Living day to day on the edge of a knife

And she doesn't want her Daddy to know

She had a lot of fun and a real good run but it's over

If ever there was a misfit she's the one

Linda couldn't handle what the future may bring

Everything was out of control

Searching through the numbers for somebody to ring

To say "Lucifer has taken my soul"

She did her final deed and her wrists did bleed so it's over

If ever there was a misfit she's the one

Someone throw a lifeline

Answer all these questions of mine

Tell me what it's all about

Help me find the real way out

Cut me from the gallows

Save me from these bows and arrows

Catch me when I'm falling

Can anybody hear me calling?

Can you offer hope for me?

Can you make the blind to see?

Give me your tuition

Guide me through this superstition

Give me your conclusion

Save me from confusion

Open up my mind's eye

Help me watch the world go by

Tommy's having trouble with the boys in blue

Now he'll go to prison for sure

The Doctor says "There's nothing anybody can do"

Nobody can offer a cure

He's on the way to jail but he's out on bail in the meantime

If ever there was a misfit he's the one

When Tommy was at school he was so cheerful and bright

Always he was greedy for more

Stealing grew in time to be his greatest delight

A habit he could never ignore

And now he's past his prime and a life of crime was his downfall

If ever there was a misfit he's the one
