That old crow came back todaySitting in my window like a prophetOut on the fire escape, to sayAnger is just love, left out, gone to vinegarYou wake up a stranger to yourself then youLearn to live with herSit in her clothing 'til you fill out her figureYou know life's no bella telanovelaThe tightrope bows with your weight in the centerThe slide show don't put all the pictures togetherYou try to do it right thoughRight though, until you let the kite goDeath and romance, the riddles of our lifetimesTryna get a slow dance, middle of a knife fightYou get up and you, you give bloodEven on a good night even on a good night outYou send signal, you listen for an echoAt the first splinters you run to tell GeppettoAnd in the worst winters the whole thing feels untenableCrow took me by the shoulderAnd he told me honey, don't let goNobody fears the height, you all just fear the fallGo to the edge sometimeAnd prove your body wrongYou land badly, but you crash standingLetras de cancionesYou land badly, but you crashHe took me to the workshopShowed me where the built the bodiesA blacksmith, a mason, a carpenterAnd in the darkroom, where the whole assembly startedAll the clothesline where the hearts hung to hardenYou come as fragile, soft machinesAnd you're bound to fast, you're bound to grieveBut you're built to balance on two feetSo why you living this last year from your kneesOh please put me down againI know you lost a betG'head and catch your breathBut when the worst relentsYou learn to live on lessYou duck some, you take some squareYour luck runs out, you're there in midairAnd when the big one comesYou'll know by the snare rollYou can be too carefulIgnore all the scarecrowsTime flies like the crow doesNo regard for the gridI can't ask you to show loveBut would it kill you if you did?Nobody fears the height, you all just fear the fallGo to the edge sometimeAnd prove your body wrongYou land badly, but you crash standingYou land badly, but you crash From Letras Mania
