Black Crow

If you can do anything with this
Well, if not, I don’t blame you
I’m all over the pavement
And here is the remainder
Black crow, yellow sky
Red eyed raven on a telegraph line
Your rabbit’s foot got left behind
And here is the remainder
I’m breaking down
I thank God there’s no one around
To see me when I get like this
Don’t tell a soul about my predicament
Yes, I’ve got no credentials falsified my reports
Altered my appearance on the passport
Your honor, this leg is hard to stand on
It’s been giving me nothing but grief and yes
I dwell in this wreckage but the rent is cheap
Earth and sky will soon wear out
Your words will not decay
You come with glorious shout
And the tears are wiped away
Thought I killed the sin of pride
A hundred rounds I must have spent
Now everywhere I turn my eyes
I’m all over the pavement
Whispers from the furnace
Offers a disclaimer
Justifies every falsehood
And hands you the remainder
