Cataldo - Reprieve, Reprieve lyrics

I saw you cross the restaurant I was with some friends Who come here a lot I should turn my chair Or just up and leave But I said "you'll have to excuse me" You showed me pictures of your kid And said he's strong and smart as sh** The specter dwells until you blink And say you'll have to excuse me I see the buildings from the steely jet And feel a misguided benevolence But down here it's all reprieve, reprieve I ask if you can excuse me Oh, oh, reprieve, reprieve (x4)
