歌詞
I went to the levee
I was going to meet my man
A little boy stopped me with a gun in his hand
I thought I had a date,
But I guess I changed plans
I’m crying for my baby
Tell me, have you seen my man
Five minutes past midnight
In running towards the moon
With the little boy behind me
We’re running towards the end
Of the world it’s behind me
I got no plan
Why can’t a woman enjoy this world like a god damn man
Such a terrible feeling
To wonder what a life he’s leading
I wake to the sunrise,
I can’t believe my eyes
My man is right beside me
With blood splattered arms and thighs
He’s crying for his baby
He’s thought I just died
He’s crying for himself
With a gun at his side
Such a terrible feeling
To wonder what a life he’s leading
How do I teach my man the result of a mistake
How do I stop a child from coming to this fate
Who turned the river to make a crescent city state
How’s the moon reflected by this god damn way
Such a terrible feeling
To wonder what a life we’re leaving
Such a terrible feeling
To wonder what a life we’re leading
