Dust Kids

Andy Shauf - Dust Kids

Charlie asks me if I believe in reincarnation

I say no but please go on

He says I was reading about these kids

They're like two years old recalling their past lives

Could you imagine if that was your kid

Rose asks if we want another I say I'll take another life

Do they say what happens in between

He says some talk about heaven and watching from up above

And I imagine sitting on that shelf

Watching over you just waiting to be someone else

If I died and you died too

Could we sit up in heaven and choose to live on together

They say after you die you start drifting skyward

And it reminds me of a dream I had

Where I was shot in a shopping mall

I died and started rising until I dove headfirst into the ground

I woke up and told Judy she started laughing at me

Just laughing in the morning light

Maybe hell is coming back

As the dust that you sweep off the floor forevermore
