Joyce from Apartments by Built Like Alaska
Joyce believed she had mountain magic. She believe she was psychic and could see spirits. She would never pass by Apartment 2 because she swore she could see a ghost peaking out the window at her. She believed in fairies and angels. If she did have magic, it seemed like good magic. One time she called me over because she could see a ball of swirling fire floating in the night sky. And you know what, I saw it too.

Lyrics
Joyce-
I know I’m right, when I’m right.
I see my blotchy skin
and this bottle of butts that I’m snubbing out in.
He thinks we’ve got something, but there’s none.
I don’t know what it is
but, I can’t help feeling it’s dangerous
to be rolling around in a mind like his.
You have to keep looking to find.
I keep seeing angels, all the time
and a ball of fire in the sky
and a ghost is peeking through the blinds.
I know what I know, when I know it.
From the second seeing
or the praying part of the christian in me.
They help me keep being kind.
But, I just can’t do it
when I can hear his dirty words
and I can sense his dirty mind
I have to keep looking to find.
I keep seeing angels, all the time
and a ball of fire in the sky
and a ghost is peeking through the blinds.
( I can’t take this anymore)
