I'm Not There movie - Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? lyrics

rate me

Song by The Hold Steady<br /><br>

He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fist full of tacks <br>

Preoccupied with his vengeance <br>

Cursing the dead that can't answer him back <br>

I'm sure that he has no intentions <br>

Of looking your way, unless it's to say <br>

That he needs you to test his inventions. <br>

<br>

Can you please crawl out your window? <br>

Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you <br>

How can you say he will haunt you? <br>

You can go back to him any time you want to. <br>

<br>

He looks so truthful, is this how he feels <br>

Trying to peel the moon and expose it <br>

With his businesslike anger and his bloodhounds that kneel <br>

If he needs a third eye he just grows it <br>

He just needs you to talk or to hand him his chalk <br>

Or pick it up after he throws it. <br>

<br>

Can you please crawl out your window? <br>

Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you <br>

How can you say he will haunt you? <br>

You can go back to him any time you want to. <br>

<br>

Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed <br>

Are you frightened of the box you keep him in <br>

While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange <br>

Their religion of the little ten women <br>

That backs up their views but your face is so bruised <br>

Come on out the dark is beginning. <br>

<br>

Can you please crawl out your window? <br>

Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you <br>

How can you say he will haunt you? <br>

You can go back to him any time you want to.<br>
