Henry Songtext
von Trippers & Askers

Henry you, you didn′t say a word to me
Maybe you didn't even want to give me that light

There′s not one, not a single soul still living
From when you were young
It's just the good Lord, you and your bike

You and your bike on Claiborne Avenue
Five dollars please, for a shower at the shelter
You and your bike on Claiborne Avenue
You learned my name, said thanks and walked away

Henry our, our complexions lurk beneath our words
White devil's deeds never cease, there′s no end in sight


Cause it′s a hate of man, it's buried in the skin of my fathers
But I believe fellow feeling flowed between our chests
But what I think, it isn′t worth a dime at the shelter
Or on the street, there's not a feeling that flows hard enough
None but righteous rage, valued as a truth, and not feared
How can forgiveness heal when the shooters don′t even see a crime

Up from my chest, an open avenue
5 dollars please for a shower at the shelter
I kept the faith that we might be neighbors yet
But you Henry you, I won't ever know

You and your bike on Claiborne Avenue
Five dollars please, for a shower at the shelter
You and your bike on Claiborne Avenue
You learned my name, said thanks and walked away
