Dan Reeder - American Short Story

her name was loretta
she was a figure skater
i used to watch her practice from up in the stands
she'd whirl and she'd swirl
and she'd jump and she'd twirl
it was the most graceful thing
i had ever seen

mmmmhhhmmmm mmmmhhhmmmm
mmmmhhhmmmm

she had a brother
who had a place out in barstow
she said she had to see him
so we drove out one day
he showed us his bunker
full of guns and ammunition
three years worth of food and water that he had stored away

mmmmhhhmmmm mmmmhhhmmmm mmmmhhhmmmm, etc.

he didn't smoke or drink
he said you always have to be ready the revolution's coming
but no one knew when
on the way home we were quiet loretta did the driving
i rolled down my window
and listened to the wind

mmmmhhhmmmm mmmmhhhmmmm
mmmmhhhmmmm, etc.

her name was loretta
she was a figure skater
i used to watch her practice from up in the stands
she'd whirl and she'd swirl
and she'd jump and she'd twirl
it was the most graceful thing
i had ever seen

mmmmhhhmmmm mmmmhhhmmmm
mmmmhhhmmmm
