Neko Case - City Swans lyrics

rate me

Baby, come out

I need you in the street!

At the place by the old far station

We’ll get something to eat

Like we talked about!

Baby, come down,

It’s been a while now!

Have so many things I can 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 and I know

Try to set the marching car

But the… invade my thought

Without feeling…

I need and I know!

You step onto that middle claim

Where it meets the dazzling sound of dreams

And I fade those dreams to run

Cause I can’t look at you straight on

You’re made from something different and I know!

You’re made from something different and I know!

My eyes … come home

I swear I never breathe because I’m startling the gravity

You’re made from something different and I know!

When… a little long

I see your gun is drawn

With the safety on,

You can’t walk me back to my home town

Lucky it was home!

And I smell those… you make…

And petty dreams that leave me sleep in here in your arms

City swan!...

City swan!

I can’t look at you straight on

You’re made from something different and I know

And it breaks my heart …

I look down and I realize

I’ve been sailing so long

I become the swan! Hmmm

City swans Hmmm

… city swans!
