(Continue Intro Riff) 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. [Verse 2] 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. [Chorus] And I can’t look at you straight-on You’re made from something different than I know [Verse 3] 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. [Chorus] And I can’t look at you straight-on You’re made from something different than I know [Bridge] 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 [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] And I can’t look at you straight-on You’re made from something different than I know [Bridge] 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 mmmhmmm City swans mmmhmmm Our crook’d necks long City swans [Outro] End on C
