City Swan
[00:14.24] Baby, come out
[00:16.67] I'll meet you in the street
[00:20.42] At the place by the old fire station
[00:23.86] We'll get something to eat
[00:25.59] Like we talked about
[00:27.09]
[00:27.90] Baby, come down
[00:30.59] It's been a while now
[00:34.21] I've got so many things I could tell you
[00:37.71] If my stubborn mouth doesn't let me down
[00:40.96]
[00:41.78] And I can't look at you straight-on
[00:47.48] You're made from something different than I know
[00:52.79]
[00:55.54] I try to slip the marching clock
[00:58.48] But centipedes invade my thoughts
[01:02.29] Without free will I heel and I go
[01:09.17] I step onto that metal plate
[01:12.23] Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains
[01:15.99] And I beg those trains to run
[01:19.25]
[01:19.50] Cause I can't look at you straight-on
[01:26.62] You're made from something different than I know
[01:30.75]
[01:33.43] My eyes are on the sidewalk
[01:34.93] It's gum holding your feet
[01:36.75] I swear under my breath
[01:38.12] Because I'm starving in your gravity
[01:40.31] You're made from something different than I know
[01:44.31]
[02:01.31] You linger just a little long
[02:03.99] I see your gun is drawn with the safety on
[02:07.31] You can walk me back to my hotel
[02:09.56] Like it was home
[02:14.44] And I smell those fools you made cordwood of
[02:17.75] In petty dreams that leave me sleeping here, in your arms
[02:23.56]
[02:24.12] City swans
[02:27.49] Our crook'd necks long
[02:31.37] City swans
[02:33.50]
[02:35.81] And I can't look at you straight-on
[02:42.57] You're made from something different than I know
[02:46.84]
[02:48.97] And it breaks my heart just like the day
[02:52.40] That I looked down and I realized
[02:55.53] I'd been sailing so long I'd become the shore
[03:02.17]
[03:06.11] City swans
[03:06.73]
[03:12.73] Our crook'd necks long
[03:16.48] City swans
[03:18.42]
