Jim Caroll - Crow Lyrics
It must be strange to just fall from the stageAnd snap a bone that is so close to the brainAnd be attended to by so many down belowI saw a doctor tie you up from so far aboveAnd you start singing just like light through a black floorYou start sliding like burned skin to a side doorRefrain:But crow, when you throw yourself underSingins hard when you cant loose controlThey dont know, to them in the dark you dont whisper nothinAnd theyre all gonna try and rip the wind from your soulIt must have been hard to be a cashier in a bookstoreAnd to be surrounded by the history of your true lovesAnd youd get ***** between the deep shelves in the backroomAnd have your brain get tan by sharp fluorescent light tubesAnd you start spinning like the pillars in the templeYoud start screaming just like sister aimee sempleBut crow, when you throw yourself underThe streets are hard when you cannot lose controlThey dont know, to them the dark dont whisper nothinAnd theyre all gonna try and rip the wind from your soulCrowIt was so sweet when you brought donuts to the junkiesHey, youd give us something wed go slip into our coffeeAnd wed start reading lines from poems that didnt matterYou covered me with blankets in the chelsea hotel lobbyAnd Id start reachin for the scar along your bellyTheyd start takin us cause winning is their hobbyRepeat refrain
