J. Meeks - I Don’t Know Why lyrics

I woke this morning with a spade in my heart Watching people lying dying in the streets Roads blue and lights electric yellow at the KFC Burgers everywhere straw on the floor My mother looking in the mirror saw nothing inside Fear taking people in the overcrowded graveyard Far away a bunch of sirens yelling to the deep air A man stabbed in the back litter covering the path Bullets flying around me unknowing where they ricochet The walls of crumbling houses made of blood red stones Beetles crawling on ceilings crocodiles swimming in gutters I wonder why the burglars don’t respond to my questions Chorus Tired and gruesome faces and I don’t know why Empty eyes and pockets with no money to spend Surprised I am still alive surprised I’m kissing you And everywhere the mud speaking of this crazy world
