lyrics
Under the white light of the cafeteria
She hands the beef lasagna to the second grader
Who spits onto the beef lasagna
Behind the counter, she begins to wonder:
When did my dreams die? Where did my life go?
But Ms. Dolores, if you were gone
Who would feed the children? How would they get nourishment?
Oh Ms. Dolores, recognize the importance of your role
Oh Ms. Dolores, go and wipe that frown from under your mole
One lunchtime, the kids are in line
Expecting to dine, but there's an issue inside the kitchen
Tiny bodies were collapsing out of starvation
'Cause Dolores is missing in action
She's at home on Cherry Street, a-weeping softly under her sheets
Thinking I could've been an actress, or I could've been a stewardess
I coulda been a million things besides a school lunch lady
Serving children that don't think to thank me
But Ms. Dolores, when you were gone
No one fed the children, no one got nourishment
Please Ms. Dolores, recognize the importance of your role
Please Ms. Dolores, go and wipe that frown from under your mole
Someday soon, she enters the lunchroom
And every elementary schooler runs to the door to greet her
Wrapping their limbs 'round Dolores, they tell her they missed her
They tell her they love the way she prepares sloppy joes- and now she knows
Ms. Dolores has recognized the importance of her role
Ms. Dolores is wearing a smile underneath her mole
This is potentially the greatest dreampop record of the 2010s. Combining bold, memorable melodies, varied and textured music, and emotionally breathtaking lyrics, Psychopomp will be remembered for many decades to come and has an unforgettable place in the heart of anybody who knows it.

The Shivas deliver a set of righteous three-chord wonders with a mean streak that will always be to the tastes of a certain doomy subset of ‘60s rock fans. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 29, 2019
