The Crane

Trip Shakespeare

Hear me tell how the hounds of the bankers

Took my mind to the freaking ridge

How the claims and the howling reminders

Kept my eyes from their rest at night



When the dogs of the bank are upon me

And they've come to repossess my car

I'll be found at the base of the canyon

I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor



All you men that live for the evening

Seven hours when the light forgives

And you race like a dog when he's dreaming

And you wait for the yank of the hook



Understand that the chains are magical

And they strain to keep you where you are

I'll be found at the base of the canyon

I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor



Let the Crane take back the engine

Let the crane take back the wheel

And I feel that the world should come with me

When I ride to the crack in the earth (x2)



Hear me tell how you walk into a dreamland

With a line from the back of your head



To the wheel that revolves at the center

And you wait for the yank of the hook



When the dogs of the bank are upon me

And they've come to repossess my car

I'll be found at the base of the canyon

I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor



Let the Crane take back the engine

Let the crane take back the wheel

And I feel that the world should come with me

When I ride to the crack in the earth (x2)

When I ride to the crack in the earth, ah ha!



Let the Crane take back the engine

Let the crane take back the wheel

And I feel that the world should come with me

When I ride to the crack in the earth

Oh I feel you should come with me

Yes I feel you should be here

And I feel that the world should come with me

When I ride to the crack in the earth



Ah ah Oh oh Ah Ah Ah------!
