Lyrics
Crack Baby
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.
Down empty streets sniffing glue me and you
Blank open eyes watch the moonflower bloom
It's been a long hard twenty-year summer vacation
All these twenty years trying to fill the void
Crack baby you don't know what you want
But you know that you had it once
And you know that you want it back
Crack baby you don't know what you want
But you know that you're needing it
And you know that you need it bad
With wild horses running through your hollow bones
Wild horses running through your hollow bones
Went to your room thinking maybe you'll feel something
But all I saw was your burning body waiting
All these twenty years on a vacation
Crack baby you don't know what you want
But you know that you had it once
And you know that you want it back
Crack baby you don't know what you want
But you know that you're needing it
And you know that you need it bad
Crack baby you don't know what you want
But you know that you want it
Yeah you know that you want it
You know that you
Crack baby you don't know what you want
But you know that you need it
And you know that you need it bad
With wild horses running through your hollow bones
Wild horses running through your hollow bones
Wild horses running through your hollow bones
Wild horses running through your hollow bones
