City Swans Lyrics - The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You - 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 

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

And I can't look at you straight-on 

You're made from something different than I know 

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 

City swans, 

Our crook'd necks long
