Lyrics:

The register stood open
Smoke cleared the room
And one man was lying
Over blood and a broom
The store door was swinging
In the 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 a 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
He looked up through the white lights
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
The baby was sleeping
Till 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 back yard
The cool afternoon
The tree that they planted
It starting to bloom
She wanted 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
