Pools of light in the alley
Light the way back to warmth
A woman laughs, it's the echo
That you need at this moment
You'll remember crazy rain
Spinning circles in dark suburbs
Screaming out the window
Wake up! Wake up you stupid bastards
Take a seat near the exit
Just pray to God know one sees you
Watch the mots trapped like flies
Angels in stained glass windows
You'll remember Father Down
Looking right through you
Clasping your sweaty palm
And saying, Don't be a stranger
When the bells call your name
Turn and face the whole family
Say the words
Move in place
Fly away to Bermuda
When the weight of the mortgage
Raking leaves, just be grateful
Bad reports from the school
Yes, of course, I still love you
Face the judge
Speak your truth
Be absolved in some manner
Drive away to an apartment
TV glow TV dinners
You'll remember
Nothing much
Who's to know
Who's to care
Empty evenings
Restless nights
With a book in the kitchen
You never believed
You have to believe
You never
You never believed
