about

Enjoy this live recording of a brand new song! Officer Jenny started out as a song about Pokemon Go, and turned quickly into a song about living in a paranoid dystopian state. You know, something for your next BBQ! Our protagonist in Officer Jenny is trying to catch the eye of a certain special comely crypto-fascist police officer. Be careful what you wish for! And listen closely for some Pokemon motifs. Yeah, we just dropped "motif" on you.

lyrics

I know you want me, do you need me, Officer Jenny
I’ve got a lead but you can catch me, did ya miss me
I hear your feet your lonely heartbeat, Officer Jenny
So close that maybe you can touch me, will you touch me?

What will it take for you t’arrest me, Officer Jenny
Your light is shining where I’m hiding, you found me
How many stars are next to my name, Officer Jenny
I can’t keep up with your surveilling, yeah

Hey Jenny let’s play a game
I’m an enemy of your fascist state
Predict my movement from your database
Do you like, do you like, what you see? Hey Jenny?

When I’m with you I feel so lucky, Officer Jenny
Our little room interrogating, you and me
Lie in my cell so solitary, Officer Jenny
So close but why won’t you touch me, awww

Hey Jenny, it’s not too late
I can keep your secrets from your head of state
Heartstrings are bound by leather and chains
Do you like, do you like, what you see,
remanded and I’m waiting you can see me through your one-way mirror please don’t ever break your your lovely gaze, Jenny!

Oh they’re all watching I can’t turn the porch light on
Oh and every click and keystroke records every impression,
I’m so careful I’m aware of all my heightened perception
and the very air is thick with doubt and lies and deception,
What is real they only know me by my forged identity
They move in silence up the street I fear my lost indemnity
one false move and my stupidity will surely betray me
I only scream when I’m asleep, I cry, I weep, for you!

Officer Jenny?
Officer Jenny!
