tragic events - part iii
Singer:evelyn evelyn
i just had the most terrible dream
i was walking on a street in a huge city
but all of the shops and all of the cars were empty
and i knew that something was very wrong
and then i realized. you weren't there
i looked for you everywhere
everything is going to be better soon
the da vinci code is the new york times's number one bestseller
and the bombing at the australian embassy in jakarta leaves eleven dead
and on an open stretch of road
two sisters are waiting for a ride
on the eve of their 19th birthday
the twins have covertly left their circus trailer
packing their few worldly possessions;
and a battered photograph of bimba and kimba
they walk nine miles under cover of night
after what seems like an endless wait
an 18-wheeled truck pulls over
a retired professional wrestler named tony
the twins sit wide-eyed and silent in the front seat
who had not initially noticed the twin's unique condition
leaves the sisters at a gas station in walla walla
the twins walk into the nearby don't tell motel
run by one montgomery lubovich
when it becomes apparent that they have no means to pay for their stay
mister lubovich offers to employ them in exchange for lodging and food
the twins are given a small cot in the corner of the boiler room
and are put to work stuffing envelopes
and filling out hundreds of sweepstakes applications every day on mister lubovich's behalf
the twins feel lonely at the don't tell
they dream of befriending some of the other tenants
many of whom are women their age
but whenever the shy sisters work up the courage to approach one of these potential friends
they are met with looks of fear and disgust
is looking at us. "ewww")
