Crows Over Cornfields

Crows over cornfields

Dry summer wind

Every road’s a dead end

Crows over cornfields

Where are my friends

Guess I chased ’em away again

But I raise this glass to say hey to them

Sipping licorice

Hole up in my room by the stadium

Get it over with

The ones I see

Don’t see me

Every face is turned away

I wanted too much

I wanted visions I could touch

A world of innocence and grace

Crows over cornfields

Getting shit done

Feeling much better today

Crows over cornfields

The trance has begun

I can handle the vibrations this way

But when they break through

They make everything come apart

I need a stronger frame

To restrain my heart

The yellow light

Brings the darkness into sight

That fills the air to the starry sky

By the little fire

The streetcar finally meets desire

And all the birds have flown away

I guess today’s the day

Give me courage Lord

Guide my hand

Prepare me a place

In this thirsty land

At last, escape

Changing color, changing shape

Take me in and keep me tight

And in their beds

The sunflowers slowly spin their heads

To catch each ray of the leaving light
