lyrics

The rain whistled like thistles in the road,
The wind awoke and the sky turned maroon and cold,
As the wheels thumbled viciously, the tar against concrete,
This is the day I died on Warren Street (or at least I thought!!)

Chorus: There wasn’t too much commotion till he climbed into that truck,
The paramedics claimed he had too much to drink, he had too much luck,
The boy was broken, the store to stones, and the witness’ sing,
Not a scratch on his head, ain’t it sickening?

I took flight on phoenix, oh, flowers bloom to ash!
Then the pavement crushed like a train across my back,
As the sky grew black, I saw her wave so I waved back,
This is the part where I died on Warren Street (till I woke up, of course!)

Bridge: My angel doesn’t wear a halo on her head,
I’d rather be alive in her than eternally dead,
My ghost’ll soar like crows that gawk at the sky,
There must be some reason I wasn’t allowed to die.
