Baby, come out | |
I’ll meet you in the street | |
At the place by the old fire station | |
We’ll get something to eat like we talked about | |
Baby, come down | |
It’s been a while now | |
I have so many things I could tell you | |
if my stubborn mouth doesn’t let me down | |
And I can’t look at you straight on | |
You’re made from something different than I know | |
Try to slip the marching clock | |
But centipedes invade my thoughts | |
Without free will, I heel and I go | |
Step onto that metal plate | |
Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains | |
And I beg those trains to run | |
Cus I can’t look at you straight on | |
You’re made from something different than I know | |
My eyes run the sidewalk it’s gung-ho ___?? | |
I swear under my breath because I’m starving in your gravity | |
You’re made from something different than I know | |
Linger just a little long | |
I see your gun is drawn with the safety on | |
You can walk me back to my hotel like it was home | |
And I smell those fools you made ___ (??) | |
In petty dreams that leave me sleeping here in your arms | |
City swans | |
Our crooked necks long | |
City swans | |
I can’t look at you straight on | |
You’re made from something different than I know | |
that I looked down and I realized | |
I’d been sailing so long I’d become the shore | |
City swans | |
Our crooked necks long | |
City swans |
Baby, come out | |
I' ll meet you in the street | |
At the place by the old fire station | |
We' ll get something to eat like we talked about | |
Baby, come down | |
It' s been a while now | |
I have so many things I could tell you | |
if my stubborn mouth doesn' t let me down | |
And I can' t look at you straight on | |
You' re made from something different than I know | |
Try to slip the marching clock | |
But centipedes invade my thoughts | |
Without free will, I heel and I go | |
Step onto that metal plate | |
Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains | |
And I beg those trains to run | |
Cus I can' t look at you straight on | |
You' re made from something different than I know | |
My eyes run the sidewalk it' s gungho ___?? | |
I swear under my breath because I' m starving in your gravity | |
You' re made from something different than I know | |
Linger just a little long | |
I see your gun is drawn with the safety on | |
You can walk me back to my hotel like it was home | |
And I smell those fools you made ___ ?? | |
In petty dreams that leave me sleeping here in your arms | |
City swans | |
Our crooked necks long | |
City swans | |
I can' t look at you straight on | |
You' re made from something different than I know | |
that I looked down and I realized | |
I' d been sailing so long I' d become the shore | |
City swans | |
Our crooked necks long | |
City swans |
