"The most vivid track here out of many is Broken Rosary, a child’s-eye view of her dysfunctional family..."

lyrics

Where were you when she was drinking too much
in the middle of town? We were afraid that she’d pass out.
They poured water on her head until the ambulance came,
and I watched through the car window as they rushed her away.

we believed, we believed

Where were you when he was suffering?
He could barely speak but he knew he had to feed her.
They hung him out the window by two little feet,
and when he played make believe everyone was falling.

we believed, we believed

we will be ok, ok, ok
at least, that’s what we’d always say

Where were you when she tore up her skin
and crippled the hand she used to paint with,
when she crashed her car into a wall on purpose?
She always walked away with new scratches.

but we believed, we believed, we believed
