Spirit Children

Street lights
flash on my intentions
if I had been paying attention
I would not have sideswiped
that husband and his sweet wife
with cancer and a kid
I guess that's what I get

Down at the police station
I'm reading revelations
to the cops and robbers
trying to do their jobs for
the weak and the weary
this is a big city
it's too big for me

It's so ugly
the message is bloody
we were spirit children
in our home in heaven
now we're 27
and you're on your deathbed
I guess that's what you get
