Evelyn Evelyn - Tragic Events - Part III lyrics

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 it was so quiet
And I knew that something was very wrong
And then I realized you weren't there
I called for you, but no one answered
I looked for you everywhere, Evelyn
Hush, it was only a dream don't be scared
Remember, everything is going to
Be better soon, evelyn

The year is 2004
"The Da Vinci Code" is the New
York Times' 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:
A change of clothes their painted ukulele
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
And the driver
A retired professional wrestler named Tony
Offers the girls a ride
("Hey, little ladies why don't you
Slide on up in here, next to Tony")
Unskilled at small talk
The twins sit wide-eyed and silent
In the front seat the driver
Who had not initially noticed
The twin's unique condition
Leaves the sisters at a gas
Station in Walla Walla, washington
("Listen, why don't you two just hang
Out here for a minute i'll be right back")

Not knowing where to go
The twins walk into the
Nearby Don't Tell Motel
Run by one Montgomery Lubovich
("You girls looking for a room?")
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
("Well you can stay here
But it ain't gonna be free")
The twins are given a small cot in
The corner of the boiler room
And are put to work stuffing envelopes
Licking stamps and filling out hundreds
Of sweepstakes applications
Every day on Mister Lubovich's behalf
More so than ever before
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
("Oh my god candie
That thing is looking at us" "Ewww")
So they busied themselves by composing songs
And practicing their ukulele technique

After 2 years at the Don't Tell
Mister Lubovich teaches the girls to
Search for and print sweepstakes
Applications by themselves
On the 486 Pentium computer behind
The motel's front desk
("Now type w-w-w dot instant
Win frenzy dot com") one day
While searching online for new
Sweepstakes application forms
The girls mistakenly stumble upon
A social networking site
They navigate through the profiles of
Many musicians and performers
And see the great number of
Friends that they have
They are amazed and intrigued

The twins redouble their efforts
And stay up late for a week
To perfect their singing and ukulele playing
(snap OW) late one night
While Mister Lubovich is fast asleep
The twins creep out of the boiler room
To the front desk computer
To create their very own music profile page
Their heartbeats quicken as their first
Song begins to upload

Just think of all the friends
We're going to have, evelyn thousands
Thousands and thousands of friends, Evelyn
I'm so excited, Evelyn goodnight, Evelyn
Goodnight, Evelyn
