Underneath the overpass Lies amongst the broken glass The perfect picture of a man Lead me down there by the hand And gather now around the fire And listen closely to the liar As deep inside the undergrowth I loose my grip upon your rope What is it that’s brought us here? Besides excitement and the fear The skeleton beneath the pass That lies amongst the broken glass What a violation Of a basic human right See the implication It haunts me every night Lookout girl far down below Caught up in the undertow Are stories of your loneliness With you as you’ve laid to rest You’re paid to follow everywhere Without a question or a care You’re bound to wallow in despair The beaten track is nothing new You’re one of the forsaken few Your children and your husband too Will suffer for your selfishness Forever for your dance with death What a situation It’s a basic human right See the implication It haunts me every night You’re like a pair of brothers who Share a heart between the two There’s space enough for you to rest Fill it with your emptiness It’s not like you’re the chosen one You hide behind another’s gun Without the courage to be seen Wash your hands ‘til they are clean |
