Lyrics
Your mom's been clean
For years and years
That happened way
Before your birth
Of course she made mistakes
But you should know
That she was hurt
I saw her yesterday
And as I watched her
Hold you tight
I noticed that she
Looks very much alive
For someone killed
That many times
Your daddy is in prison
And you're scared
You'll end there, too
I know how fear can squeeze
The ones it's left to true
But you're like anything
In life: rich and pure
In heart
I love you for the kind
And self-conscious
Boy you are
I was nineteen
They put me in a madhouse
Because I was too depressed
Time can be confusing
I was living in the past
I couldn't sleep at night
Didn't know what to do
In my mind there wasn't
A single drop of pain
I didn't go through
Life is a chain of doubt
That ends with certain death
But boy, life is also
Other things
That wouldn't make you sad
Life can be a rock
From the skies falling down
That turns into a feather
When it hits the ground
We had this conversation
About who was here first
Was it God or was it Superman
Who created heaven and earth?
You said: "Mark, I think it's Superman"
I told you you were right
I thought of you, my friend
When I heard Lou Reed
Had died
