City Swan - Neko Case
.
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
