Neko Case - City Swans
Baby, come outI need you in the street
At the place by the old far station
We'll get something to eat
Like we talked about
Baby, come down,
It's been a while now
I got 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 and I know
Try to slip the marching clock
But centipedes invade my thoughts
Without feeling'
I kneel and I go
You step onto that metal plate
Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains
And I beg those trains to run
'Cause I can't look at you straight on
You're made from something different and I know
My eyes run the sidewalk, it's going home
I swear under my breathe because I'm starving in your gravity
You're made from something different and I know!
You linger just a little long
I see your gun is drawn
With the safety on,
You can't walk me back to my hotel
Like it was home
And I smell those fools you made cordwood of
And petty dreams that leave me sleep in here in your arms
City swan!
Our crook'd necks long
City swan!
I can't look at you straight on
You're made from something different and I know
And it breaks my heart just like the day,
That I looked down and I realized
I'd been sailing so long I'd become the shore
City swans,
Our crook'd necks long
City swans
