I Went to the Levee

I went to the levee I was gonna meet my man

A little boy stopped me with a gun in his hand

I thought I had a date, but I guess I changed plans

I’m crying for my baby, tell me have you seen my man?

Five minutes past midnight I’m running towards the moon

With the little boy behind me, we’re running towards

The end of the world, it’s behind me, I got no plan

Why can’t a women enjoy the night like a god damn man?

Ooo Ooo Oooo

lt’s a terrible feeling

Ooo Ooo Oooo Oooo

Too wonder what a life he’s leading

Ooo Ooo Oooo

lt’s a terrible feeling

Ooo Ooo Oooo Oooo

Too wonder what it’s like to be him

I wake to the sunrise

I can’t believe my eyes

My man is right beside me

with blood-splattered arms and thighs

He’s crying for his baby,

He’s thought I just died

He’s crying for himself

With a gun at his side

Ooo Ooo Oooo

lt’s a terrible feeling

Ooo Ooo Oooo Oooo

Too wonder what a life he’s leading

Ooo Ooo Oooo

lt’s a terrible feeling

Ooo Ooo Oooo Oooo

Too wonder what it’s like to be him

How do I teach my man

The result of a mistake?

How do I stop a child

From coming to this fate?

Who turned the river

To make a crescent city shape

How’s the moon reflected

By this god damn way

Ooo Ooo Oooo

lt’s a terrible feeling

Ooo Ooo Oooo Oooo

Too wonder what a life we’re leading

Ooo Ooo Oooo

lt’s a terrible feeling

Ooo Ooo Oooo Oooo

Too wonder what a life we’re leading
