You were born in redacted
You were the only kid
Your father worked for Raytheon
But he never said what he did
Your body was the battlefield
Of a forgotten war
They're still digging up ordinance
But no one knows what we were fighting for
You're a shotgun in the night
A lightning bolt in flight
You're a Halloween black light
Time is like a Jets game
I've never seen it once
But, what a shame
If all we shared was the violence
Tell me how the decade ends
Write it like a song
Harden it and seed the clouds
A rain to right the wrong
And you, you're a laser on the moon
Red light in the darkroom
You're the spark that fades too soon
And you are an arc light in the sky
You are a raging firefly
You are a falling satellite
Who never understood the night
You're a halloween black light
The spark that fades too soon
You're a laser on the moon
