about

OPOSSUM
DIDELPHIS VIRGINIANA

Somehow, the opossum made its way to the California coastline. From an evolutionary standpoint, I'm not sure how, but something tells me that they know a thing or two about perseverance. 'Opossum,' follows a mother opossum, doing her best to keep her children alive and flirting with the doom of an unavoidable and romantic death.

lyrics

My little ones crawl up my back.
Stark white teeth,
pink gums,
I ain’t no alley cat,
but I’ll still eat your trash,
climb highway exits,
eat beer cans for breakfast.
Every can I visit, I’ve got to admit that I might not make it back.

I ain’t playin’ around.
The true black is coming.
There’s no use in running
from a sixteen wheeler headed southeast out of town.

And I knew it from the start,
in my little junkie heart,
that I’m better off dead
that a scoundrel in bed around noon.

Pour one out for opossum,
who lay out there, rotten.
Hope they scrape ‘er up pretty soon.
Scrape ‘er up real’ soon.
