Do you think he'll ever come home?”

“I was gone for fourteen days
I coulda been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
lyin on the floor
I was gone for all those days
but I, was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people
in the danger zone”

“I think I lost some weight there
and I--- I'm sure I need some rest
Sleepin don't come very easy
in a straight white vest
Should like to see that little children
She's only four years old--- old
I'd give her back all of her play things
even, even the ones I stole”

“I grabbed my hat and I got my coat
and I, I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn't breathe
Said to myself this is very strange
I'm glad it wasn't me
But now I hear those sirens callin'
and so I am not free”
