8 Gods Of Harlem |
Rain falls on the paramedics but they do not go inside |
The street is where it all went down, the street is where he lies |
The mother in her universe feels nothing but the pain |
The son who was a baby but who will never be a man |
So we pray to the God of Broken Class |
We pray to the God of Gunfire and Regret |
We pray to the God of Collateral Children |
We pray to them all, the eight Gods of Harlem |
Son was on his best behavior, shit was on his shoes |
Blood was on the handlebars, nothing on the news |
No one saw it coming, no one was to blame |
Daddy’s got a broken heart, he’ll never be the same |
So we pray to the God of Old Illusions |
We pray to the God of Wasted Chances |
We pray to the God of Dreams and Roses |
We pray to them all, the eight Gods of Harlem |
A girl falls down in hysterics |
Is she laughing? |
Is she crying? |
Is she living? |
Is he dying? |
Undone |
Who raise the glasses higher |
Sulfur from the underground |
Erosion, scalding steam |
Her brother in a picture frame |
And someone starts to scream |
So we pray to the God of Washed Out Paper Broken Hearts |
We pray to the God, the last chance is for rage and vengeance |
We pray to the God, beat the drum slowly, neatly folded up and hidden Old Glory |
We pray to them all, the eight Gods of Harlem |
