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
