City Swan - Neko Case
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 ve 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 than I know
I try to slip the marching clock
But centipedes invade my thoughts
Without free will I heel and I go
I 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 than I know
My eyes are on the sidewalk,
It s gum holding your feet
I swear under my breath
Because I m starving in your gravity
You re made from something different than I know
You 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 cordwood of
In petty dreams that leave me sleeping here, in your arms.
City swans,
Our crook d necks long
City swans
And I can t look at you straight-on
You re made from something different than 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
