Four Days After Ariel Was Shot Lyrics

Four days after Ariel was shot, I was walking home past dark.

Police car cruises up to me, I'm in a park in the city - "When you're white in this cement land..."

Two boys combing a Merrimack beach, in their tracks one dead body - make sense of a scene that has a named ending, "boy taken in gang fight," - a local dream wish to take take someone off a cultural guilt list.

I'm walking home, it's two blocks that way; no I won't get in the cab, it smells like a pale forcefield.
