As many times as I've cracked my head open, it's a miracle I'm still alive.

More 9-11 references. I think there are 3 bass tracks on this one to compensate for the paucity of low end on track one.

lyrics

The angels they were singing

Aged four
From the top bunk to the floor
Seemed like a thousand feet or more
And
I fell

Hey Momma Mama
O! Mother Mama realize
I had a vision
I thought I dreamt into your eyes
And when I woke up
I'd seen myself from the ceiling
I thought I was dead
I thought a lot of things but I was only dreaming

And out the window
There were angels
And they were looking out for me
Then they started to sing
They sang
"You're alive
O! child
Be free and do not die!
Not right now"

(Second Grade)
High
As a kite
From the the playground slide
And I thought to fly

O Father Father
DAD!
I think I landed on my head
You were so patient with me
When I thought that I was Peter Pan
Down by the riverside
When I was face-first in the sand
I felt your loving touch
And Dad

I think I got it
(Gotta get it)
Automatic

I was not a boy
Still I might not yet have been a man
And then I felt your hand
On my arm
Outside my self I was a child again
