lyrics

Alex sits on couch for the evening
Of his concrete-sipping, white-walled living room
Coke and vodka in his veins
Something good to drive him insane
Some tears to shed to something on YouTube
Tired men in overalls
Hug their children and then cry a lot
Alex wants in on the action
For a fraction of the cost

Just before the Bank of Brazil
Brought his thought-waves back to a still
His belly's scarred so food won't fill
That hole inside, that's now for real
It keeps him hungry, but not for food at least
And then between a sob sometimes
He might not hear the gunfire
There's a less than stable payroll
A growling from the outside

Baby I know
The shadows on your wall

The story goes that once as a kid
A speeding car almost got him killed
The car that did this made that hole
From which his dreams could now unfurl
There's a lot to choose
A brand new role
A brand new start
Well, not everyone gets one

Between your dad, your son and me
I hope you one day end up free
I kiss your hands and lovingly await
For you to be born again babe
And breathe

Baby I know
The shadows on your wall
