lyrics

I was killed on a beautiful day we should all be so lucky to go that way.
It was a quick passing, it was painless and I wouldn't do it different even if I could change it.
I knew eventually that something had to break, just didn't think that it would be today.

Well I born again on the blackest night without a cent to my name and not a soul in sight.
But I knew I wasn't doing as bad as I might so I went looking for someone I knew in my past life.
I knew that someday that I'll forget my name just didn't think I'd live to see the day.

In the parade of souls that fell from God's hand
I dropped into the body of a thin white man.
And I scrounged for a place among the Americans
Seeking to be understood but never to understand
Because above all the rest I must meet my demands
Even if it takes the life from me.
