Sympathy for the Crow

Breathing Underwater

Two suns in a closed jar
Liquefy the viper for the show
Cut the cord and breathe deep
Racing in a dead sleep

Sympathize in silence for the crow

Swear to be a prophet
Steal the jewel and drop it
Lay another crack out in the road
Happenstance and visions, stupid superstitions
Sympathize in silence for the crow

Chorus:
You lose the battle when
You start believing in everything you read
It's just like Stevie said
A cosmic free for all with caps and crystal balls
When you believe in things like the archetype in wings

The humble and meager
The perpetual griever
Sing ‘em to sleep, but the crow just gets no sympathy

The humble and meek
The tired and the weak
Sing ‘em to sleep, but the crow just gets no sympathy

King underachiever
Half an unbeliever
King the sleeping serpent down and go
Hide out in the open, cowering but hoping
Sympathize in silde for the crow

Chorus

Though he's a bird to prey, let the crow eat cake
You know hoe ravens love the crumbs
Throw them to the black cats that cross our tracks
Frozen stiff and maybe they'll melt in the sun

Chorus 2X
