Dolores (Etc Version)

[Verse 1]
The radio's droning, dulled out by the intercom on fire
Guidin' the evening's choreography
And Katie has her hand in a young man's chest
Stain on her white shoes that won't wash out
So usual, not the last pair this year

[Verse 2]
And down the hallway, cries rise and fall
In-between the nearly constant sirens
Someone turns on the news like we need it
It's just another white man with a grudge
The break room sits empty
Just like our hearts are draining in the waiting room
Think of your daughter at her wеdding
You know life isn't long enough

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Your shirt's specklеd red, you're holding onto a
Young girl's hand, so frail and cold
So casual, not even the last one today
And I wish for the fingers to count, or the
The memory to remember each new city
But I lost track so long ago
I think it was around two-sixty

[Outro]
They're prayin' for you
For you
They're prayin' for you
Isn't that good enough?
