[00:00.41]City Swan - Neko Case
[00:04.91].
[00:14.24]Baby, come out
[00:16.68]I'll meet you in the street
[00:20.43]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].
[00:27.91]Baby, come down
[00:30.59]It's been a while now
[00:34.22]I've got so many things I could tell you,
[00:37.72]If my stubborn mouth doesn't let me down.
[00:40.97].
[00:41.78]And I can't look at you straight-on
[00:47.48]You're made from something different than I know
[00:52.80].
[00:55.55]I try to slip the marching clock
[00:58.48]But centipedes invade my thoughts
[01:02.30]Without free will I heel and I go
[01:09.17]I step onto that metal plate,
[01:12.24]Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains,
[01:16.00]And I beg those trains to run.
[01:19.25].
[01:19.50]Cause I can't look at you straight-on
[01:26.63]You're made from something different than I know
[01:30.75].
[01:33.44]My eyes are on the sidewalk,
[01:34.94]It's gum holding your feet
[01:36.75]I swear under my breath
[01:38.13]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,
[02:04.00]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].
[02:24.13]City swans,
[02:27.50]Our crook'd necks long
[02:31.38]City swans
[02:33.50].
[02:35.81]And I can't look at you straight-on
[02:42.58]You're made from something different than I know
[02:46.85].
[02:48.97]And it breaks my heart just like the day,
[02:52.41]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,
[03:06.74]
[03:12.73]Our crook'd necks long
[03:16.48]City swans
[03:18.42]
