03-09 | The Pollock Sisters: A Very Specific Rebirth
[Intro] (Cheesy, compressed elevator bossa nova music plays briefly) (A synthetic robotic voice speaks) "Thank you for calling the Department of Karmic Reassignment. Your rebirth is currently... pending." (Explosive, upbeat 80s synth-pop beat drops in) [Verse 1] Back in nineteen-fifty-seven, down in Hexham town A tragedy occurred that brought the whole family down But father John was praying for a cosmic restart He said, "Send 'em right back down to heal a broken heart!" Florence thought he lost his mind, the doctor said "It's one!" But John was quite insistent that the paperwork was done! So in October fifty-eight, the universe aligned And printed out a pair of twins, perfectly redesigned! [Chorus] (Highly energetic, robotic backing vocals) Oh, it’s a celestial clerical error! (Re-re-reborn!) A very specific, local, supernatural terror! The soul factory stamped 'em with a matching little scar, Just like checking out the Carfax on a previously owned car! Yeah, the Pollock twins are back on the earthly floor, With the exact same trauma that they had before! [Verse 2] John pulled out the magnifying glass to check the specs He had to see if heaven passed the quality checks! Little Jennifer arrived with a mark above her eye The exact same bucket-injury from the days gone by! She had a brown mole stamped upon her lower waist The universe copy-pasted with incredible haste! The foreman up in heaven said, "Hey Vinny, make it quick! Just slap a birthmark on her so the narrative will stick!" [Synth Solo] (A frantic, bouncy, incredibly cheesy 80s keytar solo) [Bridge] (Music strips back to just a driving bassline and snapping) Four years old and walking down the Whitley Bay street "There's our school! There's our park!" The memory is sweet! They knew the dolls were Mary, they knew the other was Sue They remembered the old laundry wringer, and the car that hit 'em too! (Tempo speeds up, chaotic) It's an afterlife refund, an incredibly weird feat, But they really should have asked to live on a different street! [Chorus] (Maximum energy, peppy horns join the synths) Oh, it’s a celestial clerical error! (Re-re-reborn!) A very specific, local, supernatural terror! The soul factory stamped 'em with a matching little scar, Just like checking out the Carfax on a previously owned car! Yeah, the Pollock twins are back on the earthly floor, With the exact same trauma that they had before! [Outro] (Music starts to glitch and slow down) Doctor Stevenson is taking notes, but wait, they’re turning ten! The memories are fading, they are normal kids again!
