Edie Brickell New Bohemians Lost In The Moment Lyrics

Lost In The Moment Lyrics

The register stood open as the smoke cleared the room



And one man was lying over blood and a broom



The store door was swingin' in a midnight breeze



And another man ran through the dark and the trees







Lost in the moment of what he needs



Lost in the moment of what he needs







He ran past the motel threw his gun in the trash



Looked down through the darkness and counted the cash



The man at the store was trying to stand



Looked up through the white light and reached out his hand







Lost in the moment of what he needs



Lost in the moment of what he needs



Are you there can you hear me



Are you there







The ambulance arrived but it was too late



In the spin of the red lights they covered his face



He had a wife who was waiting watching TV in bed



Wondering why he wasn't home yet



Their baby was sleeping until the telephone rang



He woke and he cried out but nobody came







Lost in the moment of what he needs



Lost in the moment of what he needs



Are you there can you hear me



Are you there







She doesn't know what they'll do now now that he's gone



Try to get over and try to get on



Alone in the backyard a cool afternoon



The tree they planted has started to bloom



She wanted him to see this she wanted him there



She wanted to kiss him and brush back his hair







Lost in the moment of what she needs



Lost in the moment of what she needs
