Lyrics
Cross Your Fingers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look down on the body, that you have grown
The mountains stand around you, they're not your own
Lights squares and bodies are all you see
Since you broke down, since I broke down, Since we broke down
Oh I jump into your grave and die
and on my word you'll give up your whole life for me and you'll be reborn, bigger and stronger
and less alive
oh oh oh...
Chorus:
Cross your fingers, hold your toes,
were all going to die when the building blows
cross your fingers hold your toes,
were all going to die when the building blows
and the house that you were born in is crumbling at the corners
sagging skin and feet of crows, feet of crows
Oh I jump into your grave and die
and on my word you'll give up your whole life for me and you'll be reborn, bigger and stronger
and less alive
oh oh oh ...
oh oh oh...
Oh you crawled out of the sea, straight into my arms, straight into my arms. (x 4)
