There To Heaven In 18 Years
Hey ! Who turned the friggin' lights out.
swimming in the warm bliss of a moment
to a safety of purpose a beating heart
explained by many , understood by none
through a wall of water , wailing and life
to plastic, rubber , hands , sound and lights
Now , What is this ? It's my flippin' life!
sitting on the floor with a playpen
overhead , weighted with books
playing cowboys and indians in the groves
With B-B guns and split dried peas
Look , there's the byes! Just like they-
she had beautiful blue eyes , I met her when
she still hated boys and we grew together
in lives and school when I left for college
she was leaving for basic training
W..hooo! Where did that come from?
from college party with one too many beers
I was the only one going home, didn't get there
I flew from the car cause I did not like belts
in the ditch , tasted blood , drifted away
Do I get to stay here?..............(whisper)...... Do I Really!
