I saw you cross the restaurant
I was with some friends
Who come here a lot
I should turn my chair
Or just up and leave
But I said "you'll have to excuse me"
You showed me pictures of your kid
And said he's strong and smart as sh**
The specter dwells until you blink
And say you'll have to excuse me
I see the buildings from the steely jet
And feel a misguided benevolence
But down here it's all reprieve, reprieve
I ask if you can excuse me
Oh, oh, reprieve, reprieve (x4)
