Excuse Me, Mr. Jones

by Gramsci

/

about

A prayer, of sorts.

lyrics

Five years
Since you left us all behind
You could have predicted this kind of situation?
If prayers work I hope that this one finds you well
It took some courage to find the words
To tell you how I’m feeling
Excuse me, Mr. Jones
Maybe you can hear me?
Or maybe I’m just praying to the emptiness inside
Galaxies of time and space colliding
Spinning through infinity
Let chaos and divinity fight it out
Just trying to keep my head above the clouds
If only...
If only...

Tell me
Do you miss the human race?
Is it lonely out in space without a friend?
Tell me
Because I don’t know what to do
You see its lonely down here too
Without a friend
Excuse me, Mr. Jones
Maybe you and I are the same problems
Different day
Chalk it all up to experience they say
Spinning through infinity
Let chaos and divinity fight it out
Just trying to keep my head above the clouds
If only...
If only...
