lyrics

The Ballad of Alison Headley
---------------------------------

Alison Headley she really writes deadley
She'll be coming round from a Texas town
So you better get readley

She's a memory collector a fine detail inspector
She's putting on her free and self discovery
To let the fearless infect her

She's sort of orange and kind of blue
Does lots of things you'd never do
She keeps a blog she got a dog named Maude
She's anchored to

She's a South-By fixture she's not given to strictures
But you better watch out or you'll end up online
In one of her pictures

Cuz Alison Headley travels on steadley
She's a truth informer in her little arm warmers
She's a rock and punk medley

She's sort of orange and kind of blue
Does lots of things you'd never do
She keeps a blog she got a dog...

So many are so bored play-it-safe their lord
But she is able
Reward come thrust your sword through waiting on
Embedded tables

She's sort of blue and kind of orange
But nothing frickin rhymes with orange
Not motorbilkes not bowling strikes
No way we know what she likes

She likes beads!

Yeah
Oh oh oh...
