lyrics

Don’t know where here is
This is no place for a woman alone
I’ve come a long way
Coming up short on the women you’ve known
I left their makeup stateside
Their wardrobes pressed and stored
I left their questions loaded
Don’t know what they’re asking anymore
There’s no one left to vouch for
Anyone who answered here before
I took a wrong turn
Refugee’s Walk down a dangerous street
The lookers on turn
Take a good guess at the language I speak
Sinking feeling when they greet me
Phrases I can’t comprehend
Print my meaning underneath me
Cast me off when I offend
I always offend
So I’ll continue sliding
Through gaps in these cliches
I researched all my options
In magazines and half price matinees
The savior of her nation, the subject of a gaze
I catch my breath
I wasn’t looking for the mask on deck
I wasn’t ready for the next show yet
I want a moment here unseen
Life out loud
I’m rising every time the
Lights come down
I shouted “fire” at a captive crowd
It wasn’t always out of greed
It wasn’t half of what I need
I’m moving pictures
Passenger boards with so little to say
The stations flicker
What’s the last stop for a face on a train?
I am backwards but in transit
Drag me to my journey’s end
One more temporary actress
Slouching towards a rental bed
I’m a stranger, safe and sound
Take me deeper underground
When the windows go black I am echoed back
I see no sign of the right track
I see fear
I see hope
I see these scenes in Cinemascope
I smell smoke

about

Hannah vs. The Many Brooklyn, New York

"(Fairchild's)songs play out like tiny musicals - they’re dramatic, punchy, and lightly dusted with Stephen Sondheim’s lyricality ... you can hear a likeness to his dark theatre in her music."

- WNYC Soundcheck

"The key's in the name. Hannah vs The Many. Not Hannah AND The Many... You wouldn't want to be part of the "Many" Hannah Fairchild's ferociously taking down - track by track."
- Deli NYC
