[Verse 1]
Love sees love's happiness
But happiness can't see that love is sad, that love is sad
Sadness is hanging there
To show love somewhere something needs a change, they need a change
[Chorus]
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
To take the house he built for her apart
To make it break, it's gonna take
A metal ball hung from a chain
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
To pick the broken ruins up again
To mend her heart, to help him start
To see a world apart from pain
[Verse 2]
Lad's gal is all he has
Gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad, the love of lad
Some things gal says to lad
Aren't meant as bad, but cause a little pain, they cause him pain
[Chorus]
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
To take the house he built for her apart
To make it break, it's gonna take
A metal ball hung from a chain
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
To pick the broken ruins up again
To mend her heart, to help him start
To see a world apart from pain
[Bridge]
Don't call me at work again
No, no, the boss still hates me
I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore
And there's a restaurant we should check out
Where the other nightmare people like to go
I mean nice people—baby, wait
I didn't mean to say nightmare
[Verse 4]
Lad looks at other gals
Gal thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than lad, he isn't bad
Call off the wedding band
Nobody wants to hear that one again, play that again
[Chorus]
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
To take the house he built for her apart
To make it break, it's gonna take
A metal ball hung from a chain
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
To pick the broken ruins up again
To mend her heart, to help him start
To see a world apart from pain
[Outro]
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
