REWRITE


Hello Mama, I killed a man today
A drunken struggle in a bathroom stall
Time went in slow motion, as his wallet flipped open
When I tripped him and he fell on his own knife (Not sure about wording here)
And I saw a picture of, his kids and wife

Oh, who the hell am I?
To take another man's life?

Flashes before my eyes
A table set for four
Wife sits waiting patiently
Dinners going cold
Kids looking at the clock
Waiting for daddy to come home
They don't even know...
Guess I've killed four birds with one stone.
Hello Mama.....I killed a man today

Hello Father, I killed a man today
Though I swear it wasn't my intent
Everytime I look in the mirror, I keep seeing that picture
A reflection of my guilt, staring back at me
Everywhere I go, it won't let me be..

Oh, who the hell am I?
To take another man's life?

Flashes before my eyes
A table set for four
Wife sits waiting patiently
Dinners going cold
Kids looking at the clock
Waiting for daddy to come home
They don't even know...
Guess I've killed four birds with one stone.
Hello Father.....I killed a man today

I see the shadow of the man when I'm all alone...
Taunting me, daunting me, constantly ever haunting me
I down another pill, it won't be long until
That sweet calm overcomes me, and offers sweet release

Cos it flashed before my eyes
Lonely table set for one
Yes I finally realised
Nobody'd miss me when I'm gone
Once you think about it
Might make this world a little less cold
Guess I ended up
Killing five birds with one stone

Hello Lord...I killed a man today


Again, let me know what you all think. Oh, and.....taking Joice's cue, maybe I should stop writing such dark songs. Hmm. I have posted some here that are christian though, in my defense *laughs*

Oh and Joice, I'm afraid that sample won't play for me.
