A cappella

lyrics

Hopin the levee holds
What are you so sad for
Your eyes haunt me long after you're gone
Bored of the fear
Death feels like an old hat
Hangin round all useless on the back of my door

When you were born did they have high hopes
Did the expectations stand
Did they see that sparkle in your eyes
Did you learn how to clap your little hands

What were you thinkin lyin on the slab
Trouble so big and look at you so small
Seven times been broken
This is your life
Was he good to you
Did good doctor bring your doll

White curtains hide you from the sun
Pale skin around your eyes
You look surprised to be here
Did they cut you down to size

Striped windows leave streaks down your face
Flowers do not fill your head
Reflective white walls keep you in your place
In 1932 you will be dead
