Q&A
Jay Walking Backwards Lyrics
Their arms frantically tossed through the air
While his hands were together reciting a prayer
"Jesus my lord, don't take this good man,
Just let him finish what you begun
Stop covering the pavement with his blood
Can you hear me, can you hear me?"
The cameras start to roll now everyone can see
To feed his family caused someone else to be taken away from theirs
It's head is now one with the pavement,
And is hiding behind the flares
Time for heaven,
Or is it back to the shelter
Well lying inside of a coffin is always going to be a warm temperature
Naked and damned, the load is trapped and rolled away
Midnight appetite, sirens silent
Did you know that pedestrians always have the right of way?
Their lives came together when they danced in the street
It's really unexpected how some people meet one's covered in a sheet
The other sits in a back seat,
And another relationship is complete
While his hands were together reciting a prayer
"Jesus my lord, don't take this good man,
Just let him finish what you begun
Stop covering the pavement with his blood
Can you hear me, can you hear me?"
To feed his family caused someone else to be taken away from theirs
It's head is now one with the pavement,
And is hiding behind the flares
Or is it back to the shelter
Well lying inside of a coffin is always going to be a warm temperature
Naked and damned, the load is trapped and rolled away
Midnight appetite, sirens silent
Their lives came together when they danced in the street
It's really unexpected how some people meet one's covered in a sheet
The other sits in a back seat,
And another relationship is complete

My friend did an interview with TN12LLY & This song was brought up in a question:
"Pick a favorite song from the album and elaborate on its meaning":
JESSE : "My favorite song would be, Jay Walking Backwards. It's about some homeless dude I saw who got hit by a car and died."
So there, that's what it's about.

"It's really unexpected how some people meet one's covered in a sheet"
It should be "one's lying in the street."
"Their lives came together when they danced in the street It's really unexpected how some people meet one's covered in a sheet The other sits in a back seat, And another relationship is complete"
Beautifully written and sung.. They always play this live.
