Breathing Underwater
|
|
Two suns in a closed jar.
|
Liquefy the viper for the show.
|
Cut the cord and breathe deep.
|
Racing in a dead sleep.
|
|
Sympathize in silence for the crow.
|
|
Swear to be a prophet.
|
Steal the jewel and drop it.
|
Lay another crack out in the road.
|
Happenstance and visions, stupid superstitions.
|
Sympathize in silence for the crow.
|
|
Chorus:
|
You lose the battle when
|
you start believing in everything you read
|
it¡¯s just like Stevie said.
|
A cosmic free for all with caps and crystal balls
|
when you believe in things like the archetype in wings.
|
|
The humble and meager,
|
the perpetual griever,
|
sing ¡®em to sleep, but the crow just gets no sympathy.
|
|
The humble and meek,
|
the tired and the weak,
|
Sing ¡®em to sleep, but the crow just gets no sympathy.
|
|
King underachiever
|
half an unbeliever.
|
King the sleeping serpent down and go
|
hide out in the open, cowering but hoping.
|
Sympathize in silde for the crow.
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Though he¡¯s a bird to prey, let the crow eat cake.
|
You know hoe ravens love the crumbs.
|
Throw them to the black cats that cross our tracks
|
Frozen stiff and maybe they¡¯ll melt in the sun.
|
|
