On monday dealey plaza fills | |
with people on the way | |
to the court houses and meeting rooms | |
but me, I'm free today | |
And I traced the path the motorcade | |
took back in sixty-three | |
past the grassy knoll into the book depository | |
they put in a museum where they say the shots were fired | |
it's closed today but I don't mind | |
I'm already getting tired | |
There's photographs and headlines | |
and diagrams of the street | |
they're showing the zapruder film | |
it's always on repeat | |
last night I dreamt I was the bullet | |
from frame 313 | |
the one that scattered his head around the limosine | |
I was right there for his final thoughts, of john-john and jackie | |
and oh my God Big D | |
Back then everybody worried further to the south | |
missles screamed across Miami, trail and fall out | |
Teachers drilled their students hiding underneath their desks | |
To fear the twitchy trigger finger, of old Krushchev | |
but Cuba couldn't kill nobody, not like Dallas could | |
when I was growing up there, I understood | |
Remember when I'd pick you up | |
outside your mothers house? | |
the two of you were fighting, and we promised we'd get out | |
out far from the narrowness and the confines and the doubt | |
we'd leave behind all that we know and never turn around | |
cut the strings and tear away from all that kept us down | |
and oh my god big D | |
Now I fly out of Laguardia, or out of JFK | |
and I land at DFW and I drive down LBJ | |
and the houses and the shopping centers, don't make me afraid | |
Why they ever did, it's hard now to explain | |
But you, you never really left, for you was it the same? | |
and oh my god Big D | |
November 22nd I was at the kitchen sink | |
Just like everyone remembers where they were in â63 | |
the shudder that shot through me with that unexpexted call | |
I locked the bathroom door and hit my fist against the wall | |
I should of come to rescue you, I should have should have yes | |
What happened in the past ten years, I coulda guessed | |
Remember when I would carry you, and lay you in your bed | |
and promised to take care of you, but I just left instead | |
Last night I dreamt I was the pills you swallowed down | |
I tried to come back up, but you wouldn't let me out | |
and I couldn't help but wonder, did think of me? | |
and oh my god big D |
On monday dealey plaza fills | |
with people on the way | |
to the court houses and meeting rooms | |
but me, I' m free today | |
And I traced the path the motorcade | |
took back in sixtythree | |
past the grassy knoll into the book depository | |
they put in a museum where they say the shots were fired | |
it' s closed today but I don' t mind | |
I' m already getting tired | |
There' s photographs and headlines | |
and diagrams of the street | |
they' re showing the zapruder film | |
it' s always on repeat | |
last night I dreamt I was the bullet | |
from frame 313 | |
the one that scattered his head around the limosine | |
I was right there for his final thoughts, of johnjohn and jackie | |
