Lyrics

Spit at the Stars

Yes I agree, people are inherently good
But you can’t be naïve, not for a second in this world
Maybe they forget, or else they never learned
But either way

2:05 in the morning, train station in France
I missed my train they said the next one left at 6 am
I decided to wait, sat down next to a gentle looking man
And rested my legs

He spoke bonjour with nothing but kindness in his eyes
I practiced my France he practiced his English by my side
One by one the train station got empty and more silent
Till it just he and I were left

Showed my pictures told him stories of my trip
He told me he loved me proposed and everything
He kissed my hands offered to show me all of France
I told him I was flattered, but I had to get back to Madrid

The hours passed by and we became the best of friends
That’s why I knew he was just joking when his hands went to my neck
He threw my head down and it hit the cement so hard
That spit flew out my mouth, past his face, and into the stars

He climbed on top me, and his hands went somewhere new
I could barely breath, but I did what I had to do
I pulled out my switchblade waved it in front of his face
He didn’t even flinch, so I penetrated his waist

Holy ghost, holy man
Holy night, holy stand
Holy object, in my hand

He fell off of me, put his hand to his bleeding waist
He looked down at me with eyes of intense hate
I looked back at him with surprise and disgrace
And stumbled away

So yes John I agree, people are inherently good
But you can’t be naïve, not for a second in this world
Maybe they forget, or else they never learned
But either way
