about

Written for Esopus Magazine, inspired by The Ouija Board 2006
www.esopus.org/contents/view/153

Poet James Merrill’s productive use of a Ouija board for his work, discussed in Mitch Horowitz's “Spellbound” (also in this issue), got us to wondering: What kind of illumination—spiritual or otherwise—might musicians gain from a “talking board” Early in the summer Esopus sent Ouija boards to 13 participants, requesting that they use them in some way to create songs.

lyrics

IT DOESN'T WORK ALONE
IT DOESN'T WORK ON MY OWN
AND YOU WANT ME AROUND BUT WITHOUT
YOU KNOW YOU NEED SOME HELP
I'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO GET THROUGH
BUT MY INTENTIONS ARE NOT TRUE ENOUGH

I CANNOT SAY
THE FUTURE'S HAZY
LIKE THE SKY WILL BE IN 30 DAYS
IT'S HURRICANE, EARTHQUAKE AND TORNADO SEASON
IN OCTOBER YOU'LL BE SOMEPLACE ELSE
SOMEPLACE FAR AWAY
AND THERE YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE

I WAS MY LAST
BUT I WON'T BE THE LAST
BECAUSE THE ONE I KISSED LAST HAD A NAME
YOU CALLED STRANGE

SOON I WILL SEE MY FAMILY AGAIN
I'LL BUY A USED CAR AND TAKE IT DOWN BY THE RIVER
WATCHING THE SKY CHANGE
WAITING TO MEET YOU
SUCCESS IS SO UNKIND
WHEN IT'S TENDERNESS YOU REALLY WANT

WILL HE BE FAMOUS?
WILL HE BE JEALOUS? YEAH
WILL HE HELP ME? YEAH
WHAT COLOR WILL HE BE?

MISSISSIPPI IS CALLING ME
WITH NEW TATTOO SLEEVE
AND I SAW THE MOTORCYCLE LAST SUNDAY
OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF ESSEX STREET
I THINK I'LL BUY A LITTLE SPOT OVERSEAS

I'LL BE A GRAND, GRAND MOTHER
BUT MY NEW LOVER WON'T BE AN OLD LOVER
AND HE WON'T SPEAK
HE WON'T SPEAK ANY OTHER TONGUE
YOU KNOW BECAUSE
IT'LL NEVER WORK ALONE
THIS THING NEVER WORKS ALONE
WE NEED TWO
WE NEED TWO
I NEED NEW
I NEED NEW
HANDS

IT'LL NEVER WORK ALONE
IT'LL NEVER WORK
WE NEED TWO
I NEED NEW
I NEED NEW

I NEED NEW HANDS
