Neko Case City Swan lyrics

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 have 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

Try to slip the marching clock
But centipedes invade my thoughts
Without free will, I heel and I go

Step onto that metal plate
Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains
And I beg those trains to run
Cus I can't look at you straight on
You're made from something different than I know

My eyes run the sidewalk it's gung-ho ___??
I swear under my breath because I'm starving in your gravity
You're made from something different than I know


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 ___ (??)
In petty dreams that leave me sleeping here in your arms

City swans
Our crooked necks long
City swans

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 crooked necks long
City swans
