Testo The Crow - Dessa
Testo della canzone The Crow (Dessa), tratta dall'album A Badly Broken Code
That old crow came back today
Sitting in my window like a prophet
Out on the fire escape, to say
"Anger is just love, left out, gone to vinegar"
You wake up a stranger to yourself and then you learn to live with her
Sit in her clothing 'til you fill out her figure
You know life's no bella telenovela
The tightrope bows with your weight in the center
The slide show don't put all the pictures together
You try to do it right, though, right though, until you let the kite go
Death and romance, riddles of our lifetimes
Tryna get a slow dance, middle of a knife fight
You get up and you, you give blood
Oh, even on a good night
Oh, even on a good night out
You send signal, you listen for an echo
At the first splinters you run to tell Geppetto
And in the worst winters, the whole thing feels untenable
Crow took me by the shoulders and he told me "Honey, don't let go"
Nobody fears the height, you all just fear the fall
Go to the edge sometime
And prove your body wrong
You land badly, but you crash standing
You land badly, but you crash
He took me to the workshop, showed me where they built the bodies
A blacksmith, a mason, a carpenter
And in the darkroom, where the whole assembly started
All the clothesline where the hearts hung to harden
You come as fragile, soft machines
And you're bound too fast, bound to grieve
But you're built to balance on two feet
So why you livin' this last year from your knees?
Oh, please put me down again (oh, please put me down again)
Oh, please put me down (oh, please put me down)
Oh, please put me down again (oh, please put me down again)
Oh, please put me down (oh, please put me down)
Please put me down
I know you lost a bet, g'head and catch your breath
But when the worst relents, you learn to live on less
You learn to live on less, you learn to live on less
You learn to live on less
You duck some, you take some square
Your luck runs out, you're there in midair
And when the big one comes, you'll know by the snare roll
You can be too careful, ignore all the scarecrows
Time flies like the crow does
No regard for the grid
I can't ask you to show love
But would it kill you if you did?
Time flies like the crow does (oh, please)
No regard for the grid
I can't ask you to show love (oh, please put me down)
But would it kill you if you did?
Nobody fears the height, you all just fear the fall
Go to the edge sometime
And prove your body wrong
You land badly, but you crash standing
You land badly, but you crash
