Two Crows

All of the sudden she disappears, Just yesterday she was here, Somebody tell me if I am sleeping, Someone should be with me here, 'Cause I don't wanna be alone. I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand, And I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult, What a big baby, won't somebody save me please, You won't find nobody home. All of these quiet battered voices, Wait for the hunger to come, We got little revolvers and stupid choices, And no one to say when we're done, Well I don't wanna bring you down. I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes, 'Cause I know there's little things about me, That would sing in the silence of, So much rejection in every connection I make, Can't find nobody home. I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes, 'Cause I know there's little things about me, That would sing in the silence of, So much rejection in every connection I make, I wanna be the last thing that you hear when you're falling asleep. I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand, And I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult, What a big baby, won't somebody save me please, I can't find nobody home.

Mary steers clear of the men from space Back alley kid with an American face She wants the wine, he brings a case To carry them on through I said you know what I know about the bedroom boys Undercover Russians in a pink Rolls Royce They bang the drum, she sets the beat They carry Miss America out into the street She sings, "snowman, scarecrow, john doe, buffalo" I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Snowman sideshow, do do, do do do I fell out of love in the snowbound days Riding the subway in a Valium haze I need the whites, she gets the blues It carries us on through All these American boys at the Park N Shop Selling their memories for a dollar a pop Ivan the ancient spaceman race fan Corners the market on American taste And says, "spaceman, scarecrow, peep show, freak show" I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Punk rock video, do do, do do do All the sudden the light inside you dies Maybe you're going on alone Maybe you're going all alone She dreams of sunlight, sings of smaller things White sugar bowls and wedding rings You're going on from me alone You're going on, you're on your own She was married alive in a Moscow surgery Hoping to die in a cold war nursery All of the kids back home believe in much more than we do It's a memory play where the memory fades Into pictures you took, into records we played Spy versus spy, scarecrow and I Out across the darkness where the bomber jets fly Singing, "spaceman, smoke show, scarecrow, Geronimo" I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Snowman peepshow, do do, do do do I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, oh hell no, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Listening on the midnight radio, do do, do do do

Two, three, four. I get so nervous, I'm shaking, Gets so I got no pride at all, Gets so bad, but I just keep coming back for more, I guess I just get off on that stuff. I'm thinking about taking some time, I'm thinking about leaving soon. I got some things I can't tell anyone, I got some things I just can't say, Well they're the kind of things no one knows about, I just need somebody to talk, to me. I'm thinking about leaving tomorrow, I'm thinking about leaving on my own, I think I been wasting my time, I'm thinking about getting out, Thinking about getting out. In all this time, The bottom line's you don't know, How much I feel, You say you see but I don't agree, You don't know, Don't know how I feel. I'm just trying to get myself some gravity, You're just trying to get me to stay, Sometimes I sit here looking down upon Los Angeles, Sometimes I'm floating away. I'm thinking about breaking myself, I'm thinking about getting back home, I think I been waiting for way too long, I'm thinking about getting out, Thinking about getting out, Thinking about getting out.

Guess I think I feel alright, You come circling through the light, The skyline baby, is bright tonight, One more perfect rendezvous, Sundown paints the shadows through, Daylight aiming on what we do. It looks like darkness to me, oh, Drifting down, into Miami, Miami. Can I say? I wish that this weather would never leave, It just gets hard to believe, That God sent this angel, to watch over me, 'Cause my angel, she don't receive my calls, She says I'm too dumb to fuck, Too dumb to fight, too dumb to save, Well, maybe I don't need no angel at all. It looks like darkness to me, oh, Drifting down, into Miami, She could pull the sun right through me, oh, Coming down, into Miami, Miami. Make a circle in the sand, Make a halo with your hands, Make a place for you to land. The bus is runnin', it's time to leave, The summer's gone, so are we, So come on baby, let's go shut it down, In New Orleans. Come on baby, Let's go shut it down, in New Orleans, Oh yeah, come on baby, come on baby, Let's go shut it down, in New Orleans, Come on, come on, come on, Come on, come on, come on, Let's go shut it down, in New Orleans, Oh yeah, come on baby, come on baby, Let's go shut it down.

I'm a Russian Jew American, Impersonating African Jamaican, What I want to be is an Indian, I'm gonna be a cowboy in the end, I guess I bought a gun, 'Cause it impresses all the little girls I see, And then they all wanna sleep with me. Oh where did we disappear? Into the silence that surrounds us, And then drowns us in the end, Where are these people who impersonate our friends? Say come again, come again, come again. Into the dark Italian underground, With disco lights and disco sounds, And skinny girls who drink champagne, Then they take me on their knees again, And pull me up and out the door, To railway cars and tranny-whores, And mornings spreading out across, The feathered thighs of angels. Oh were did we disappear, To the silence that surrounds us, And then drowns us in the end, Will they try to push you out to keep you in? I say come again, come again, come again. In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, In 1493, he came home across the deep blue sea, In 1494, he did it with the girl next door, In 1495, he barely made it out alive, In 1964, these sailors left me at the door, In 1970, some people got their hands on me, And I'm the king of everything, And I'm the king of nothing, nothing, And I am the king of everything, I am the king of nothing. Oh where did we disappear, To the silence that surrounds us, And then drowns us in the end, Where are these people who impersonate our friends? I say come again, come again, come again. Oh where did we disappear, To the silence that surrounds us, And then drowns us in the end, Where they try to get you out to get you in, And all these people who impersonate our friends, Say come again, come again, come again, Come again, come again.

Your spirit's erased It's so obvious what you are There's nothing to taste Nothing to love, you are Dead on the inside, inside Dead and gone Dead on the inside, inside (inside) Broken from end to end Short fuse been wearing thin I couldn't fix you, but I tried, I know I did Dying to live again We need to let this end I'm not bowing to the crows inside your head (Crows inside your head) (The crows inside your-) (The crows inside your head) Your gaslight crusade Parading around My heart (it's killing me slowly now) And I bleed to death Just to know the truth you hide But you keep me fed with every lie, it keeps me alive Broken from end to end Short fuse been wearing thin I couldn't fix you, but I tried, I know I did Dying to live again We need to let this end I'm not bowing to the crows inside your head Oh, how can I fix you? How can I fix you now? How could I fix you now? Broken from end to end Short fuse been wearing thin I couldn't fix you, but I tried, I know I did Dying to live again We need to let this end I'm done bowing to the crows inside your head How can I fix you now? I'm done bowing to the crows inside your head (The crows inside your head) (The crows inside your-) (The crows inside your head)
