Burst out the door, she was beaming
Among the raindrops her happy tears were streaming
Finally freed from her pain
But something else fell with the rain
A stray bullet shot by her father
Aimlessly nested inside her
She fell to the the sidewalk, now empty
Of the life which once christened her body
Among the raindrops her happy tears were streaming
Finally freed from her pain
But something else fell with the rain
A stray bullet shot by her father
Aimlessly nested inside her
She fell to the the sidewalk, now empty
Of the life which once christened her body

Jerry: So you think we should change the name.
George: Yes I do. How about, uh... "inadvertent life-ending"? Or... "unintentional snuff-out"?
Jerry: How about "I Can't Believe It's Not Murder!"?
Jerry: You don't say.
