Rebirtha strolling 'cross the street |
|
Juggling keys to a small red car |
|
Butterflies and bombs fly close |
|
Like she's some Disney movie star |
|
Sipping hopes and lonlies |
|
Since the big leagues left us dry |
|
Birtha, Rebirtha sing a sad song |
|
Soothe these troubled times |
|
First time, it's not the first time |
|
Last time, no, I know I seen your place before |
|
Maybe in a past life |
|
Or maybe it was just last night, I don't know |
|
Birtha never sang too well |
|
But her stereo shook glass |
|
Leather gripped our bodies |
|
As her toes curled around the gas |
|
Shaking loose out of Kansas |
|
First twenty minutes in black and white |
|
Birtha, Rebirtha, talk to me, take to me |
|
Ease these troubled times |
|
Won't ever talk too much |
|
She had those television eyes |
|
My gaze never strayed too much |
|
Too much past those eyes |
|
She said, "I know a town where real life's a game |
|
Baseball's all that's real |
|
At night all the faces light up |
|
As the players take the field" |
|
First time, it's not the first time |
|
Last time, no, I know I seen your place before |
|
Maybe in a past time |
|
Maybe it was just last night, don't just know |

Birtha, Rebirtha, sweet talk talk 'em |
|
Soothe these troubled times |
|
Birtha never ever talked too much |
|
Had those television eyes |
|
Said, "We act like what we watch |
|
Like what we act out most the time" |
|
"Gonna take you to a town |
|
Where real life's a game |
|
Baseball is really real |
|
At night all the spirits lighten up |
|
As the heroes take the hill" |
|
First time, it's not the first time |

No, I know I seen your place before |
