lyrics

i walked around town down to the pier
i stared at the clearing and looked for deer
i climbed up a hill and looked through your windowsill
i had the world on a string with time to kill

but i couldn't find where i should be
from the pristine city to the saline sea
i'd put the living world to rights
for all the boys and girls holding hands i see at night

who will care for me when you're gone
when heartbeats stop and death goes on
will i be complete when i respawn
alone on god's green lawn

they say there's spirits hiding everywhere
so why do they go deaf to my humble prayer
someone ought to listen when i cry
can't they take the time to wonder why

that i can't find where i should be
it seems i save myself for nobody
i'd take the afterlife to court
for the lack here in la petit mort
