lyrics

Friday night with the elephant man:
Freak just wants to have fun.
Says, “I don’t know when the pain will end,
But I guess I’m not the only one.”

Friday night with the desperate man:
Can’t turn his face up to the sun.
Says, “I don’t know what the end will bring,
But I’ll lie back now and let it be done.”

Sandhya Baltimore, Maryland

"Caustic rock diva" says SPLICE TODAY. Um, thanks? Sandhya/Sandy Asirvatham is a thinker and award-winning creative nomad. Always finding wit and joy in the darkness. Throwback to the all-around rock/pop artist. INNOCENT MONSTER hailed by Rolling Stone as a "soaring rock album" that "balances darkness and mirth."
