lyrics

Crows Over Cornfields

Crows over cornfields
Dry summer wind
Every road’s a dead end
Crows over cornfields
Where are my friends
Guess I chased ’em away again
But I raise this glass to say hey to them
Sipping licorice
Hole up in my room by the stadium
Get it over with

The ones I see
Don’t see me
Every face is turned away
I wanted too much
I wanted visions I could touch
A world of innocence and grace

Crows over cornfields
Getting shit done
Feeling much better today
Crows over cornfields
The trance has begun
I can handle the vibrations this way
But when they break through
They make everything come apart
I need a stronger frame
To restrain my heart

The yellow light
Brings the darkness into sight
That fills the air to the starry sky
By the little fire
The streetcar finally meets desire
And all the birds have flown away

I guess today’s the day
Give me courage Lord
Guide my hand
Prepare me a place
In this thirsty land

At last, escape
Changing color, changing shape
Take me in and keep me tight
And in their beds
The sunflowers slowly spin their heads
To catch each ray of the leaving light
