(Music & Lyrics: Tom Levin)
You were singing opera down in the subway
Ave Maria with all your might
I couldn’t help but wonder just where you came from
Do you sing your children to sleep at night
Billions of realities
Life is never what it seems
Can we learn, from the restful trees
Wide awake or at peace in a dream
You worked in the basement where the cat was purring
Told me about the army north of Berlin
I read all the e-mails you sent from Gaza
All about the conflict no one can win
Billions of realities
Life is never what it seems
Can we learn, from the restful trees
Wide awake or at peace in a dream
Photos of you dying when you faked your ending
Wonder what you thought of in 73
When a night in jail is just not an option
Call 1-800 innocent and they’ll set you free
