"Jay Walking Backwards" lyrics

"Jay Walking Backwards"

Their arms frantically
Tossed through the air
While his hands were
Together reciting (a prayer)
Together reciting (a prayer)
Together reciting (a prayer)
Together reciting (a prayer)

Jesus, my lord, don't take this good man
Just let him finish what you began
Stop covering the pavement with his blood
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

The cameras start to roll, now everyone can see
The cameras start to roll, now everyone can see
Now everyone can see
Now everyone can see

To feed his family caused someone else to be taken away from theirs
Its head is now one with the pavement, and it's hiding behind the flares

Time for heaven or
Or is it back to the shelter?

Well
Well, lying inside of a
Coffin is always
Going to be a warm (always, it's always)
Temperature

Naked and damned, naked and damned
The load is trapped and rolled away
And rolled away

Midnight (midnight) appetite (appetite)
Sirens (sirens) silent (silent)

Did you know that pedestrians always have the right of way?

Their lives came together when they danced in the street
It's really unexpected how some people meet
One's dying in the street, the other sits in a backseat
And another relationship is then complete
