lyrics

This neighborhood’s not safe anymore, there’s a group of angels outside my door
They’re telling me of a great big time, asking me to pen the official rhyme
I told them I was just an unemployed mime

They said, “Come along, it makes no sense
to live your life under a false pretense.
You don’t need to ignore your past
It doesn’t hurt to see where you’ve been.”

The festival was a big success, I decided to go despite my mess
The angels said, “We have something to confess:
Here we are to build a fire and make the people sing out loud
Open your doors and let it out, you know that business ‘bout
Doing your mother proud.”

Some of us like to dance and sing
Other pray for the chimes to ring
But mostly we just spin around
And wait for the wheel to come down

The remembering is out of season, it was buried along with rhyme and reason
Your first number already retired, let’s join hands around the fire
The angels asked if I had done my deed, had I composed some makeshift creed?
My hands were shaking as I started to read:

“We can smell the smell that used to tell who went to Heaven for those in Hell
When the echoes would fade from the tolling of the knell
We would run across the heaven we knew so well.

Some of us like to dance and sing
Other wait for the chimes to ring
But mostly we just spin around
And wait for the wheel to come down

We’ll fight the fears of youth and truth
Eat pumpkin pie and loosen our screws
Like the good old days when we were only 2
Brand new teeth, straight from the womb

Momma always said I was one of the few
who could talk real loud ‘fore I could tie my shoe
When Daddy passed away is when I knew
no one could toss me in the air like he used to do.”
