How God Feels

from Tall Tree by David F. Bello

/

lyrics

no one does anything good ever
and the truth is something we gave up years ago
when we still had a king and water was still safe to drink
our children were still young and they didnt know
ive been outside all day watching strangers
the sunburn on my neck is turning me red
i cant tell which would be the worse to look at
godfather three or the haircut on yr head

is this how all of us act
is this how we are
is this what weve become
is this who we are

the bottom of the gas tank is seeing daylight
and the meter is shaking w/ doubt
that this carll be able to carry us anywhere
let alone carry the nine of us out
the trunk isnt big enough for sleeping
and yr rent was due three years ago
yr parents havent loved you since the 8th grade
and youd rather that they just didnt know

that oou can make friends like these
who are this irresponsible
enough to leave you out here all alone
w/ the woman who just called the constable

spending a night in the local county jail
isnt the worst thing thats ever happened
but yr father yelled like his mouth was dying
it was the loudest he has ever been
you cried and you begged for his forgiveness
but he sighed and he lied to you again
"i love you and i dont want you to die"
but in his head he was praying for god to send

an angel of death to take his little girl
who just didnt seem so fucking little anymore
and erase the memories of his good time friends
who work as clerks in the police force

the municipal garden borders the municipal pool
where the urine sits in warm sun all day
babies squeal w/ laughter while their parents are at work
its the lifegaurds job to take their child away
at their desks they sit there scribbling memos that dont say
how they really feel abt having a family
praying that while the lifegaurd flirts w/ his high school romance
his little junior pops a hole in his floaty

and swims just a foot too deep
in the wrong end of the pool
while its adult swim
two weeks before the beginning of school
