Hail Mary Lyrics by Greg Freeman
Every now and then you hear
Reality whisper in your ear
A string of words that make no sense
The sweet nothings of your independence
Looking down from your hotel room
Like a ghost behind its tomb
Barricades and navy blue
It all made you feel confused
“As the Hail Mary flew
A million breaths were held
And the street flooded through
Just like the gates of hell”
The memory of last year’s loss
Gets pulled far away from us
Like-waves-sucked-out-to-the-sea-and-thrust
Into the perfect tsunami
Staring at the tv set
Every man that’s made a bet
Says something or other to his kid
About the underdog’s will to live
“They won’t ask you permission
To take the only chance left
When the conversation
Is Between the sword and the neck”
