Lyrics | [LOUISA'S VOICEMAIL, spoken] Hey, it's me. Leave a message [MOTHER] Louisa Please come home, girl Been three long years Since we saw you last [MOTHER, PAUL, MRS. J] Louisa [MOTHER] I promise you We'll leave the past in the past [LOUISA] Once a year since I left on my own My momma's gonna blow up my telephone [LOUISA, MOTHER] "Louisa," [LOUISA] She cries [LOUISA, MOTHER] "Why'd you run away? The night before your poor sister's wedding day?" [LOUISA] I admit I did that purposely You know my sister Carol Wasn't nice to me I'm singin' [THE RADIO] Ooh yeah, baby, gonna hurt ya good Next time, maybe, treat me like you should, yeah! You might also like[LOUISA] Suck it, Carol! My whole plan succeeded flawlessly Except that stupid Paul caught a glimpse of me [LOUISA, PAUL] "Louisa," [LOUISA] He said [LOUISA, PAUL] "Where's your bus off to?" [LOUISA] I smiled and said "Paul, just got shit to do" Off the bus, a couple transfers, then A train to some new city where I'd start again But as I left the station [MOTHER, PAUL, MRS. J] (Louisa...) [LOUISA] I panicked I'd be found [MOTHER, PAUL, MRS. J] (Please come home, girl...) [LOUISA] A fatal complication [MOTHER, PAUL, MRS. J] (Come back, Louisa) [LOUISA] But as I looked around Nobody sees you No one at all Didn't you know, you're invisible? Blend in the background A cipher at most Flesh and blood But a conspicous ghost Nobody sees you Isn't it queer? You may be somewhere But girl, not here Look in their eyes Not a soul do they see Now who is Louisa? She sure ain't me [MOTHER, PAUL, MRS. J] Who is Louisa? [LOUISA] Seasons passed, I got a place to stay With darling Mrs. Jewel, I called Mrs. J Louisa, it seems stayed a red hot case And often on the news they display my face I'd tense up and shake like such a fool Until I turned to Mrs. J and asked, real cool "Oh, don't I look like her here?" [MOTHER, PAUL, MRS. J] (Louisa, Louisa...) [LOUISA] I mean, the match was plain! [MOTHER, PAUL, MRS. J] (Please come home, girl...) [LOUISA] She took one look and said [LOUISA, MRS. J] "Sure, dear My dear, don't be so vain" [LOUISA] Nobody sees you No one at all Didn't you know, you're invisible? Blend in the background A cipher at most Flesh and blood But a conspicous ghost Nobody sees you Isn't it queer? You may be somewhere But girl, not here Look in their eyes Not a soul do they see Now who is Louisa? She sure ain't me Everything was going great Everything was set, I had a job and all Then a tragic twist of fate Though three years had passed I had to run into Paul [LOUISA, PAUL] "Louisa," [LOUISA] He cried, with his stupid voice [LOUISA, PAUL] "You have to come home And you don't have a choice" [LOUISA] And as Paul paid our taxi (Louisa...) I had the strangest thought Truth was, I wanted to come back, see I wanted to be caught (spoken) Mother? ...It's good to see you [MOTHER] You're not Louisa Nor she before Paul's brought so many I've simply lost score It's breaking our family It isn't some game Tell me straight: What's your actual name? [LOUISA] Louisa — [MOTHER] We're, sure you'd know secrets That only she'd know Here's 20 dollars; I think you should go One look in your eyes It's a stranger I see You're not Louisa [LOUISA] I am Louisa Nobody sees you No one at all Didn't you know, you're invisible? You blend in the background A cipher at most Flesh and blood But a conspicous ghost Nobody sees you Isn't it queer? You may be somewhere But girl, not here Look in their eyes Not a soul do they see Now who is Louisa? (spoken) She sure ain't me |
