Black Crow

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.

Hurry on down to the centre of town

Where the lights are all bright

And the big black crow is waiting.

Tight in the street full of hurrying feet

And the dark in the heart

Where the big black crow is hating.

shout alound

Save your face and the whole human race

'Cause the bird and his sighs are blacking the skies

Already

Grinning and dead is the pimp in his bed

And the whore in the door

Hides her eyes from the crow that's waiting.

Blind all alone and deaf as a stone

Sings the man in a hat

And the crow on his back together.

Shout aloud

Save your face and the whole human race

Cause the bird and his sights are blacking the skies

Already

Sitting in the style with a hideous smile

The bird in the bar

With the black crow on her shoulder.

Little old man, drinking meths from a can

And searching the dirt

Where the big black crow is nesting.

Scream and shout

Everyone's mad and the world's dark and bad.

The dark black cloud of the crow's wing

shroud

Is waiting
