He Told Me His Boy Was Dying

A hundred yards over the rim
I was looking for another way
Another time and place ​
A hundred yards over the rim
I was looking for another way
A way I could escape

He told me his boy was dying
I told him that I was flying
I told him that I was flying
He told me his boy was dying

A hundred yards over the rim
Yeah we can begin
To be friends
I was always on the defense
Regina, in a present tense
Regina feeling heaven sent
This is America
Chemicals in air
You can't take care of her
I'm feeling terrible
I wrote another song in parables
Another song of parables

A hundred yards over the rim
He was telling me his boy was dying
I was telling him that I was flying
I was flying
A hundred yards over the rim
I was looking for another way
Another time and place ​
A hundred yards over the rim
I was looking for another way
A way I could escape
