Cover art for Pickpocket lyrics by At the Drive-In

Hmmm..... I remember hearing Cedric introduce this song about a child crawling into an old refrigerator and being forgotten. I think the "ground zero" refers to the nuclear family unit that pervades through suburbia. the "milk cartons" refer to the missing children that are found on the sides of milk. the "lovers quarrel" is the child. When he/she is finally found, the dessicated body is identified by dental records.
