Neko Case Lyrics
"City Swan"

Baby, come out
I'll meet you in the street
Out 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 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 freewill, I heal, and I go
And 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 and I know

My eyes are on the sidewalk
It's come, hold me in fear
I swear under my breath
Because I'm starving in your gravity
You're made from something different than I know

Linger just for 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 carpet of
In petty dreams that leave me sleeping here in your arms
City swans, our crooked nest love___?
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
Mmhm, city swans
Mmhm, our crooked nest love___?
City swans
