They Don't Know About Me and You

There used to he a subway
Right above your head
My father played for the passers-by
On his violin
He burned that box for firewood
And he laid his burden down
Now I don’t have a father anymore
You can take your Norman Rockwells
And your teenage billionaires
With their panic rooms and time machines
And vintage rocking chairs
When the moon is rising up
Behind the pyramid
We could he in Heaven or in Hell
You could be my savior
I could he yours too
They say the race is over
But they don’t know about me and you
They don’t know about me and you
So take this note to Memphis
There’s a woman l once knew
She’s buried in the catacombs
You can lay it on her tomb
She taught me how to take a punch
And I’ve taken more than my share
Now I don’t have a mother anymore
Oh, but you could be my savior
And I could be yours too
They say the race is over
But they don’t know about me and you
They don’t know about me and you
Well, come on, you can be my savior
Oh baby, come on, you can be my savior
He burned that box for firewood
He laid his burden down
Now l don’t have a father anymore
