The Ark Cygnet To Cygnet lyrics

Oh, I have seen the strong turn frail
Insufficiency turn their once proud cheeks pale
And I have seen the fruitless love of cygnets down the bay
And how the younger make their way
With a little little help from their friends

And I, I have heard of how the cygnets cry
I wonder how, how to make her cry that way
Say can I make you shake like cygnets shake
When cygnets break?
Can it ever be the same?

Oh, it is still not long ago
That I believed in wages of sin an' so
And she, such a wicked androgyny
So maybe should I strike her on her chin
Or should I cut her head in two
Yes, that's what I ought to do

'Cause I, I have heard of how the cygnets cry
I wonder how, how to make her cry that way
Say, can I make you shake
Like cygnets shake, when cygnets break?


Can it ever be the same?
But when she leans against my shoulder
I know nothing can be stronger
So I don't see why I worry
I just can't stand the thought
Of that sound, aw, that sound

But hey, hey, I saw her yesterday
And I never felt my heart take a leap that way
Now, I must no more waste my time
Now I'm gonna push it up her spine
I´m gonna make her weep and whine
All because I love her

'Cause I, I have heard of how the cygnets cry
I wonder how, how to make her cry that way
Say can I make you shake
Like cygnets shake, when cygnets break?
Can it ever be the same?
