Star-Crossed Killer

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
