The Crow

Another life, another voice
another heartbeat could find a happy end to tear asunder
Lonesome if you got 'em, gagging it down
Sing another psalm, is that work enough?
Oh, no

What was it like to come of age in such a cruel place
supping on the bones of your old chaperones?
Priced out since your first kiss
spotty tongued, mellifluous
Stick the landing as your fingerprints erode again
Oh no

He's dead, I'm trying on clothes I can't afford
Guess I'll totter down the boulevard, cash blown
Courting me in effigy
Who dares claim home any place they see?
Oh no, oh no, not me

Gone from green to pink behind the courthouse bricks
Nights, I slow it down. The future just confounds me
He's dead, I'm drinking at Taix
faint-hearted bottle blond hiding out
til the smoke just passes
Menace in the mirror
who dares find joy in this terror?
Oh no, oh no, oh no
