Andrea Gibson - Shooting Up the Sun lyrics

Artist: Andrea Gibson

album: Bullets and Windchimes


Tonight, on the corner of Lincoln and Colfax
A thirteen year old girl is knlet on her knees in prayer
Look closley,
You'll see there are mantras in her temples and angels in her hair
She's grown so old, she's young and stretch marks on her soul
And track marks on her tongue from shooting up the sun
Now a man walking by wearing a tie and suit looks down
And says, "Girl, you do you think you're praying to?"
The girl looks up and says,
"Mister, I'm praying to you and your mother, those you call sister
And brother, that black man you just
Called other with your eyes, I'm praying to our
Truth and our lies"
The man walks away with angels in his hair
Never underestimate the power of the things you say
Never underestimate the power of prayer
