Paul WesterbergAbout
Her blacks crackle and drag is the last line of “Edge”, the last poem Sylvia Plath wrote, prior to committing suicide by gas oven.
Crackle & Drag (Original Take) Lyrics
She made a good go for a weeping willow
Closed all the windows and made herself a pillow
As her limbs clung to the ground
She lay her head down
Her hair was dirty in February
She was thirty in 1963
A thousand seconds more
On the oven door
She took a long deep breath
While her babies slept
Made a good go for a weeping willow
With a cold, fixed stare
She's cursed with insight
And you can't repair
She's broken inside
She made a good go for a weeping willow
She closed the windows and made herself a pillow
And took a long deep breath
While her babies slept
And the Cadillac creeps
In your body bag
And her blacks crackle and drag
Blacks crackle and drag
Blacks crackle and drag
Blacks crackle and drag
Blacks crackle and drag
Blacks crackle and drag
Blacks crackle and drag
