In this city the kid's my favorite.
D E A
I've seen him. I see him every day.
Seen him run outside looking for a place to hide from his father,
D E A
the kid half naked and said to myself "O, what's the matter here?"
D E A D E A

what could be the awful crime he could do at such young an age?
D E A D
If I'm the only witness to your madness offer me some words to balance out
E A

D E A
sores won't heal with time or age.
D E A
I want to say, want to say "What's the Matter here?"
D
