Andy Shauf - Dust Kids lyrics

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 head-first 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
