Irma’s father is struggling with memory loss. She hopes he’ll bring her candy but he might forget.
His brain damage is so bad that he accidentally drives through their house and runs her over, killing her. Sweetly, he was bringing Irma her favorite candy when he runs her over.
This is a song about...
Irma Lyrics
Irma waits by the window
Vaguely looking down at her socks
And humming. Possibly her
Father will come home with a box
Of chocolates, possibly
Not. Father's memory
Was never what it once was;
Shouldn't really drive anymore
Either. As if in answer
With a sound like blowing up your
Ears, Father's jeep crashes
Through Irma's wall. She says
Bad words as several hundred
Boxes of her favorite kind
Of chocolate fill her bedroom
But she doesn't actually mind
