Claw And Wing

[Verse 1]
It's gloomy Sunday once again
Been gloomy since the day began
And I've only got my self to blame

[Verse 2]
I ran around a zoo of lusts
My hopes and dreams now dashed to dust
Don't ask if I remember anybody's name

[Verse 3]
In claw and wing I hear the call
That sweetheart deal's no deal at all
It's a little cheap, but it's music to my ears

[Verse 4]
I have to smile, I have to say
If I could hear it every day
Then I'd be able to make it through these coming years

[Chorus]
So we stand on the throat of the threat
'Til the fear calmed down
Stand on thе shores of victory
Jump, we won't drown
And whatevеr makes you feel better
It's all right by me
It's the thing we all need

[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 5]
So like a dog without a home
Some folks say you're not alone
I'm more forsaken then they could ever know

[Verse 6]
I watch a clock that never moves
And nick a pill that never soothes
Ain't that always the way the story goes

[Verse 7]
In claw and wing I hear the call
That sweetheart deal's no deal at all
It's a song so gentle it buzzes around with the bees

[Verse 8]
I have to smile, I have to say
If I could hear it every day
Then maybe I would cease to feel so ill at ease

[Chorus]
So we stand on the throat of the threat
'Til the fear calmed down
Stand on the shores of victory
If we jump, we won't drown
And whatever makes you feel better
Now, it's all right by me
It's the thing we all need
