Change the hospital sheets
Keep them as white as Heaven's streets
We'd use our wings to fly us south but we've forgotten how
My date of birth left me on cold New Haven's earth
The radio says Regan's down, and now here's the count

Two parents and one babysitter
Six bullets and one star-crossed killer
Await on my birthday

The family room TV, a blue-eyed TV actor screams,
"Why oh why, my God have you forsaken me?"
My eyes are wide, my nose is bleeding on the hymnal spine
Staring faces I don't recognize just like when I arrived

Adrienne, her death came with the summer's end
It was the same day as Princess Di's, but her's was not televised
My date of birth left me on cold New Haven's earth
The radio says Regan's down, and now here's the count
