When I heard the news, my heart fell on the floor I was on a plane on my way to Baltimore In these troubled times it's hard enough as it is My soul has known a better life than this I wondered how so many could be in so much pain While others don't seem to feel a thing Then I curse my wiseness and I get so damned depressed In a world of suffering, why should I be so blessed? I heard about a woman who lives in Colorado She built a monument of sorts behind her garage door Where everyday she prays for all whom are born And all whose souls have pa**ed on
Sometimes my trouble gets so thick I can't see how I'm gonna get through it But then I would rather be stuck up in a tree Than be tied to it I know There is so much more I don't feel comfortable with the way my clothes fit I can't get used to my body's limits I got some fancy shoes to try and kick away these blues They cost a lot of money but they aren't worth a thing I wanna free my feet from the broken gla** and concrete I need to get out of this city Lay upon the ground and stare a hole in the sky Wondering where I go when I die, when I die
