Come on, force it down
I'm imagining
Come on, force it down
I'm imagining
Imagining a place where homes are built on frames
And where they plant new bulbs along our graves
Each year with the fall, each year with the fall
Each year
And if you think you might
Yes, but if it's not so bright
But if you're a part of my
Whole life
Silhouettes in a window frame
Better run if it's Boo's old man
He won't know if you're white
Oh, in the night
Coverin' a fault with
Trials and coy displays
Coverin' a fault with
Trials and coy displays
If it isn't worth the time to find out how we go
About recalling all the ways and the reasons are for
Each year with the fall, each year with the fall
Each year
And if you think you might
Yes, but if it's not so bright
But if you're a part of my
Whole life
Silhouettes in a window frame
Better run if it's Boo's old man
He won't know if you're white
Oh, in the night
Vapor lamps in a parking light
You can't see when it's much too dark
All that mist in your eyes
Oh, in the night
And 80 years isn't enough time or 50 more isn't long enough
Oh, to right the wrongs
What you're hiding in your backyard is turning innocence to apathy
And accusations at another man
Oh, 'cause you don't have a prayer
To put your life into a Christian's hands
Never mind what your daughter is taught in school
What she remembers is what she has learned from you
Silhouettes in a window frame
Better run if it's Boo's old man
He won't know if you're white
Oh, in the night
Vapor lamps in a parking lot
You can't see when it's much too dark
All that mist in your eyes
Oh, in the night
