And we couldn't sweep
The ghosts out of our
one bedroom apartment
So we packed all our things
Or we left them in some garage
And I knew two disappointed men
In your fathers eyes
And my father arms
And I knew that I could make
Some lame reference
To Socrates or, or even Sartre
But I left the gun on my hip
And shot right from the heart
If you, If you curl up
And bury your face into the carpet
In that bedroom of that one bedroom apartment
You will see a 7 year old boy
And he's screaming out screaming out screaming out
Here is your grandfathers gun
The one he used to end his time here
Will you tell the ambulance
That I am not ready to go
Strike two, sweet chariot
Coming forth direct my home
I am sorry you know
I never meant to hurt you but I did
Strike two, swing low
Coming slowly forth
To carry us all home
But not tonight
Their knocking down my door
Their cutting me away
One last look
