Crow lyrics

Artist  : Jim caroll 
Song : Crow
 
It must be strange to just fall from the stage
And snap a bone that is so close to the brain
And be attended to by so many down below
I saw a doctor tie you up from so far above
And you start singing just like light through a
black floor
You start sliding like burned skin to a side
door

Refrain:
But crow, when you throw yourself under
Singin’s hard when you can’t loose control
They don’t know, to them in the dark you don’t
whisper nothin’
And they’re all gonna try and rip the wind from
your soul

It must have been hard to be a cashier in a
bookstore
And to be surrounded by the history of your true
loves
And you’d get naked between the deep shelves in
the backroom
And have your brain get tan by sharp fluorescent
light tubes
And you start spinning like the pillars in the
temple
You’d start screaming just like sister aimee
semple

But crow, when you throw yourself under
The streets are hard when you cannot lose
control
They don’t know, to them the dark don’t whisper
nothin’
And they’re all gonna try and rip the wind from
your soul
Crow

It was so sweet when you brought donuts to the
junkies
Hey, you’d give us something we’d go slip into
our coffee
And we’d start reading lines from poems that
didn’t matter
You covered me with blankets in the chelsea hotel
lobby
And I’d start reachin’ for the scar along your
belly
They’d start takin’ us ’cause winning is their
hobby

Repeat refrain
