[00:00.00]City Swan - Neko Case
[00:04.91]
[00:14.24]Baby come out
[00:16.67]I'll meet you in the street
[00:20.42]At the place by the old fire station
[00:23.86]We'll get something to eat
[00:25.59]Like we talked about
[00:27.09]
[00:27.90]Baby come down
[00:30.59]It's been a while now
[00:34.21]I've got so many things I could tell you
[00:37.71]If my stubborn mouth doesn't let me down
[00:40.96]
[00:41.78]And I can't look at you straight-on
[00:47.48]You're made from something different than I know
[00:52.79]
[00:55.54]I try to slip the marching clock
[00:58.48]But centipedes invade my thoughts
[01:02.29]Without free will I heel and I go
[01:09.17]I step onto that metal plate
[01:12.23]Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains
[01:15.99]And I beg those trains to run
[01:19.25]
[01:19.50]Cause I can't look at you straight-on
[01:26.62]You're made from something different than I know
[01:30.75]
[01:33.43]My eyes are on the sidewalk
[01:34.93]It's gum holding your feet
[01:36.75]I swear under my breath
[01:38.12]Because I'm starving in your gravity
[01:40.31]You're made from something different than I know
[01:44.31]
[02:01.31]You linger just a little long
[02:03.99]I see your gun is drawn with the safety on
[02:07.31]You can walk me back to my hotel
[02:09.56]Like it was home
[02:14.44]And I smell those fools you made cordwood of
[02:17.75]In petty dreams that leave me sleeping here in your arms
[02:23.56]
[02:24.12]City swans
[02:27.49]Our crook'd necks long
[02:31.37]City swans
[02:33.50]
[02:35.81]And I can't look at you straight-on
[02:42.57]You're made from something different than I know
[02:46.84]
[02:48.97]And it breaks my heart just like the day
[02:52.40]That I looked down and I realized
[02:55.53]I'd been sailing so long I'd become the shore
[03:02.17]
[03:06.11]City swans
[03:12.73]Our crook'd necks long
[03:16.48]City swans
[03:18.42]
