Lyrics

The Crab

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.

Oh no, no, no, no

And I'm watching her die

On my TV

And the Daddy cries

"How could it be?"

And it could be you

And it could be me

Child full of giving

Child full of hoping

Now it's gone

Now it's gone

And you're gonna run

Now it's gone

Now it's gone

And you're gonna run

To places where you've never been

And maybe one day you'll follow me

Look ok on the outside

Dead on the inside

And there's nothing to win

Ain't no disease

Child full of giving

Child full of giving

Yes you were

Child full of hoping

Lying, dying, dead

Child full of hoping

But now it's gone

And you run

Now it's gone

Now it's gone

And you're gonna run

You're gonna run

You're gonna run

You're gonna run

Oh no, no, no, no
