Crack Lyrics - Sage Francis

I'd give a twenty one gunshot salute 

With a toy rifle that you bought me but it won't shoot 

And all is well because there's been one too many shots 

The sterile robots want to talk to me about Detox 

Stop the presses, there's been an update 

Delivered via 1:30 AM phone call 

When an only half-informative source talks discretely 

Meet me-- at the family room at the side of the Intensive Care Unit 

Immediately, I'll carry a tune 

The sirens so loud, can't hear my music 

Keep free-- of negative thoughts, everything'll be fine 

We all assume... That it would go back to the way things were 

That it would go back to normal soon 

Saw the moon in a way that I never seen it before 

When I looked up that night into the sky wondering why 

Lookin' for answers, guess I ain't ask right 

I'm guessin most of yall out there know exactly what that's like 

What that's like, now tell me what's that like? 

It's like a whirlwind of emotions that occurs when moms and dads fight 

It's like when a girl grins, an emotion of hers 

That holds your arm, and grabs tight 

Hurl him into the ocean, one of them cold sweat heat flash types 

But extreme fluctuations and temperature changes 

Have been known to crack pipes... 

...crack pipes...crack pipes... 

Meet me-- half way if i go that extra length just to help your strength 

Meet me-- at the AA meeting, needing to take more then 12 steps 

Bring me to your hiding place, so I can face your vice grip 

I'll chisel every single monkey off your back with this ice pick 

Come meet up with me on the sidelines when the game is over 

Just to say hello, then afterwards, backstage 

To let me know that you enjoyed the show 

And go to grandma's house for Sunday dinner 

Sit at the head of the table, take away the fatal flaw 

you made the day before, I seen you bleed 

Meet me-- on Christmas Eve, we can fight but make up before you leave 

Make visits with the rest of those who rest in pieces on my dreams 

Meet me at the fork in the road where lost souls get indecisive 

Meet me at the crossroads so I can have someone to walk into the light with
